Interesting article about Climate Change impacting “arid-humid divide” in the Midwest and subsequently predicting the fate of farming.  “…farm size increases as aridity intensifies.”  So as aridity moves east in the US, crops could shift to wheat from corn, which could also effect farm size.  Lots of cool nerdy stuff.

Here is a follow up article in Yale School of Forestry:
