Even though the El Ni\u00f1o is still growing towards a new record, climatologists and farmers are starting to look ahead to what the end of El Ni\u00f1o means for production next year.\u00a0 The El Ni\u00f1o is expected to wane starting in spring.\u00a0 In some years it moves to the opposite pattern, called La Ni\u00f1a, and in other years it stays neutral (neither of the two).<\/p>\n

Early predictions are not clear which of the two is more likely but some climatologists note that after three of the last five strong El Ni\u00f1os, the pattern shifted to a La Ni\u00f1a.\u00a0 If this does happen, the Midwest could have hot, dry weather which could reduce grain yields and perhaps improve prices.\u00a0 You can read an article discussing this at AgWeb<\/em> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

AgroClimate<\/em> has a couple of fact sheets which discuss the impacts of El Ni\u00f1o and La Ni\u00f1a on crops.\u00a0 You can find them at the links below.<\/p>\n
