Farmer Perspectives on Agriculture and Weather Variability in the Corn Belt: A Statistical Atlas (PDF download)
Climate Change Impacts in the United States: Chapter 18: Midwest (PDF download)
2014 National Climate Assessment Report (link to downloads page)

Corn is one of the key world food commodities, just behind rice. Severe weather events associated with climate change are forecast to increase in number and intensity. These are predicted to increase nutrient runoff and have the potential to decrease corn crop yields.

This webinar will focus on:

  • climate predictions for the Midwest
  • research findings from the USDA grant “Climate change, mitigation, and adaptation in corn based cropping systems,” a $20 million grant focused on ensuring food stability
  • impacts for Lake Erie
