North Dakota wheat yielded 28.7 bu., more than twice last year's, and nearly double the ten-year average. Iowa corn came in at 76 bu. per acre, well above the ten-year average of 57.2. Thanks to modern farm technology, the total harvest was wrought from 288 million acres of cropland-10 million fewer than last year.
