( MSC News)--Special honors for two area farmers.

That comes as Chris Bodenhausen, of Muscotah, and Jason Taylor, of White Cloud, are recognized with state honors in the 2016 National Corn Yield Contest.

According to a press release issued by the National Corn Growers Association, which annually sponsors the event, the contest “recognizes farmers from across the country for their exceptional efforts.”

Bodenhausen and Taylor were among 400 state winners nationwide.

Bodenhausen earned third place in the the Irrigated Class with a yield of nearly 272 bushels-per-acre, using the hybrid Pioneer P1197AM.

Taylor took third place in the non-irrigated class with a yield of about 261 bushel-per-acre by using the hybrid Taylor Seed Farms 8850 VT2PRO.

Winners were recognized last month at the 2017 Commodity Classic, held in San Antonio, Texas.

The National Corn Yield Contest began in 1965 with only 20 entries from three states.
