NCGA Launches Contest to Find New and Innovative Uses for Field Corn

The National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) has announced a contest to encourage innovation in the use of field corn. The contest is open to individuals and teams who can propose new and creative ideas for using field corn in the food, industrial, and energy sectors. 

Field corn is a versatile crop with a wide range of potential applications, but many of its uses are not yet fully realized. The NCGA hopes that the contest will inspire entrepreneurs, scientists, and others to develop new uses for this important crop. 

The contest will be judged by a panel of experts in agriculture, business, and innovation. The winners will receive cash prizes, as well as the opportunity to work with the NCGA and other industry leaders to further develop their ideas. 

The NCGA hopes that the contest will help to create new markets for field corn and increase the demand for this important crop. This, in turn, could provide economic benefits for farmers and rural communities. 

The NCGA's contest is a creative and innovative approach to encouraging the development of new uses for field corn. By leveraging the creativity and ingenuity of individuals and teams, the NCGA hopes to unlock the full potential of this versatile crop and create new opportunities for farmers and industry.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
