The winner of this year’s World of Corn Award from the Illinois Corn Growers Association is Dr. Gary Schnitkey with the University of Illinois.
ICGA says Schnitkey has been “instrumental in the group’s efforts to educate growers about their farm program options this year.” Schnitkey is a professor and farm management specialist in the university’s Department of Ag and Consumer Economics who focuses on farm management and risk management.
ICGA President Rob Elliott says Schnitkey was a “key resource” this year for producers on the new Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE). Elliott says 22% of the total acres enrolled in ACRE nationwide were from Illinois.
