A fourth-generation farmer is among those affected by extreme weather. His wheat field suffered from intense drought, resulting in a low yield. The farmer had been optimistic after a late rain, but a dry winter and spring took a toll.

He grows multiple crops on his 4,500-acre farm, including corn and soybeans. The farmer's experience is an example of the challenges posed by extreme weather. Further details about the impact of drought on his farm are available.

Farmers are exploring solutions to such weather events, including the use of perennial grains.
