Here are a couple points of clarification about the contest:

• Only the area harvested for the yield contest has to be a square or rectangle.  The field that the harvested area for the yield contest is in can be any shape.
• For the maximum economic yield contest categories, you do not to give the actual price that you paid for whatever input reported on the Production Form.  Costs for various management practices will be drawn from the Mississippi State Crop Budgets for analysis of economic yield.
• Only one entry per legal entity.

Any questions about the contest feel free to contact us or your county Extension Agents.
