In 2016, the U.S. harvested nearly
. . . 87 million acres, producing
. . . 15.1 billion bushels, for a total value of
. . . $51.5 billion.
The Met Office,
. . . the U.K.'s national weather service, say's
. . . "We haven't seen a major drought in the U.S., and China.
. . . in the same year in the last 30 years,
but, our simulations indicate,
. . . that that type of scenario is possible,
. . . in the current climate."
The chances of major swaths of these corn-producing regions,
. . . getting hit with severe water stress at the same time, is
. . . 6% percent per decade.
