President of the Hamilton County Corn Growers association Mike Bergen gave an update on the local and state Corn Growers Associations at the 2023 Ag Day at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds Jan. 31.
The speech focused on the status of the organization, corn production in the county and state as well as goals of the Corn Growers this coming year.
“I think everybody knows it, but sometimes we overlook that we have really good agribusiness and agritourism opportunities here in Hamilton County and also just outside of Hamilton County,” Bergen said. “So we’re going to tap into our resources.”
Bergen continued with the statistics of Hamilton County corn production, which was No. 2 in the state and No. 11 in the nation with a total production of about 48 million bushels per year.
