North Dakota corn yields from the National Corn Growers Association Yield Contest were pretty impressive. Cody Faurenberg's 243 bushel per acre entry from LaMoure, N.D., in the irrigated division topped them all. But dryland yields were not far behind. Jamie Gorder, Wahpeton, won the non-irrigated division with 242 bushels per acre.
