C4E faculty Laura Bowling discusses how climate shifts could hurt Indiana Corn

Purdue Center for the Environment faculty, Laura Bowling discusses how climate shifts could hurt Indiana corn in a segment on listener supported radio station, WMOT Roots Radio. Listen to a radio version of this story “A new study predicts the U.S. could lose nearly half of its corn by the end of the century due to climate. That could have detrimental effects in Indiana, the country’s fifth largest corn-producing state. Corn production in Indiana has been increasing for decades, largely because of advances in genetics. Still, Indiana stands to lose up to 30 percent of its corn yield by the 22nd century. That’s according to Laura Bowling, a professor in Purdue University’s agronomy department.”
