22” vs 30” row for dry land corn? Header?

I am going to try corn next year and was reading an article on a trial in southern Alberta and they claimed a higher yield with 22” rows… I am looking at header options for my older combine and seem to only find 30” row headers. Will the extra yield be worth using a auger header to combine, or will a 30” header work on 22” rows?
