Climate change is expected to bring more severe weather, like droughts and extreme heat, to Kansas in the coming decades, with significant negative impacts on farm productivity and profitability. EDF's new research shows the financial risk to Kansas farms posed by extreme heat, and how management decisions and government programs partially mitigate the negative impacts.
