Talbot Corn Club and Agronomy Program
The Talbot Agronomy Program has been active for over 60 consecutive years. This makes the Talbot Corn Club the oldest in the nation.
Each year, local farmers enter the contest. Entries are tabulated and the awards are given out at the annual banquet. Our annual program includes a keynote speaker, a crop report, and a weather summary. Sponsors are also recognized at this event.
Categories include:
- Adult Corn
- Youth Corn
- Irrigated Corn
- Full Season Beans
- Double Crop Beans
