I just know that the fields in Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska look like August after a heat wave. The drought and heat are terrible. The crops are barely there (thanks to some being watered by irrigation). If you love corn or wheat it is going to be a very short year
80% of Iowa’s corn is grown north of Interstate 80, none to speak of irrigated. Heat stress there will reduce yields a bit, but it’s hardly a crisis.
The US might produce only 12+ billion bushels instead of 13+ billion bushels.
Given record world grain production, starvation isn’t just around the corner.
