While a strong El Niño continues in the eastern Pacific Ocean, farmers are looking ahead to the next growing season, which may feel the impacts of the opposite atmospheric oscillation, La Niña.   AgWeb posted an article yesterday talking about the impact of a La Niña on crop prices next year, particularly the impact on grain crops.  You can read the discussion here. You can also check expected impacts on grain yields at AgroClimate.org.
