Two scientists explain their research findings which predict the impacts of warmer temperatures on corn crops.

Bruno Basso, Ph. D., is an associate professor of agroecosystems sciences at Michigan State University and a principal investigator for the USDA-NIFA Sustainable Corn Project. Ryan Nagelkirk is a graduate student on the Project and working on his Ph.D. at Michigan State.

This resource is part of the USDA-NIFA funded project for climate and agriculture that gathered data from 35 field sites and thousands of farmers in 9 Midwestern states, with the goal of creating a suite of practices for corn-based systems.
