U.S. agriculture is becoming more and more a victim of climate change writes<\/a> Forbes<\/strong>, drawing a troubling picture of the state of farmland in the country<\/strong>. “As a devastating and historic drought from Illinois to Texas to California grinds on, sophisticated mapping and data projection bring more bad news\u201d, says the magazine. \u201cAgricultural areas are among the places in the U.S. experiencing the highest temperature increases<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

The alarm has now spread to different parts of the country. Affected by the climate is the production of almonds, olive oil, grapes, lettuce and citrus in California’s Central Valley. So are corn and soybean crops in Arkansas and other Midwestern states. Moreover, in the past month alone, at least 2,000 cattle have died<\/strong> in Kansas during the heat wave.<\/p>\n
