Yale Climate Connections posted a story this week about the challenges farmers in the Midwest and the Plains are facing from recent changes in climate, including warmer winters, more downpours, and hotter summers.  The growing season length is increasing, which brings both challenges and opportunities.  You can read about what they are experiencing and how they are adapting at https://www.yaleclimateconnections.org/2017/05/new-climate-new-challenges-for-farmers/.
