Montgomery County Extension will be conducting a yield survey of the area corn crop on Thursday, September 5, starting at 8 AM at U of I Extension Office in Hillsboro. Volunteers will break into groups and survey crops across the county to estimate yields, and will meet back at the Extension office by noon to share results and enjoy lunch.

Extension will sample fields in each of the 19 townships in Montgomery County, and will publish the results after they are compiled.

Anyone interested in participating or sponsoring the event is asked to contact the Montgomery County Extension Office at (217) 532-3941.
