Farmers Invited to Enter Profit Contests in Two Counties
The St. Charles St Louis County Farm Booster Committee invites farmers from both counties to enter 1970 profit contests for corn and soybean divisions upland and bottom land. Goal is 20 entrants per division with trophies for top three. Last year’s winners included Firmin Gentemann and Frank Henke of O Fallon and Jerry Schulte of West Alton in soybeans. Fischer of St Charles earned top honors in a Siam on bottom land contest with net $56.55 and low costs. The Booster Committee sponsors events year round, culminating in a February banquet at Wentzville with about 1,000 attendees and awards for winners.
