(Emmons County, ND) -- There's light at the end of the tunnel for this season's North Dakota corn harvest.

According to the USDA, about 69 percent of this year's crop has been cut.

All is not good news, however. Some farmers are reporting reduced yields due to above-average drought conditions during much of the growing season.
