We saw mostly corn being grown in and around the Devils Lake area of NoDak last Oct. The farmers are actually going down as close as possible to the sloughs to maximize their tillable land.
Dad drilled an exploritory well around Bismark 10 years ago and an acre of farm land then was between $250 and $500. With corn production and Bakken Shale the price has risen up to $5,000/ac all over NoDak and Eastern Montana.
