Science Recorder: Corn, the backbone of much of the American Midwest, may be more vulnerable to droughts than it was just two decades ago, according to a new study published in the journal Science. The study was conducted by David Lobell, an associate professor of environmental Earth science at Stanford University. "The Corn Belt is phenomenally productive," said Lobell in a statement to PHYS.Org News, "but in the past two decades we saw very small yield gains in non-irrigated corn under the hottest conditions....

Midwest Drought Wilting Future Crop Yields
2014-05-01 22:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Nature World: Increasingly harsh drought conditions in the US Midwest's "Corn Belt" may take a serious toll on corn and soybean yields over the next half-century, according to research published today in the journal Science. Corn yields could drop by 15 to 30 percent, according to the paper's estimates, which could be devastating to a nation in which corn and soybeans account for approximately 40 and 35 percent of global production, respectively. "Yield increases are getting smaller in bad conditions," co-author...

The In-pen Voluntary Access Scale — a growth sensor — will enable farmers to ‘see’ how their pigs are performing while they are still growing. This revolutionary development will even allow pig producers to record growth rates and feed conversion on a daily — even hourly — basis.
