One last thing for food for thought.
From Ag. Economic Insights.
“Across the Plains states, the historic probability of above-trend yields during El Nino conditions were high, 65% or greater. This was especially true in the Southern Plains states of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, which accounted for 49% of the winter wheat planted in 2014. Texas, for instance, has historically experienced above-trend yields 70% of the time fall El Nino conditions were present [2].”
“In Kansas, the largest producer of winter wheat by planted acres (2014), years where El Nino conditions have occurred during the fall months has resulted in yields as high as nearly 12 bushel above trend to as low as 10 bushel below trend (not shown). Quite a range of potential outcomes. Overall, El Nino conditions have resulted in above trend yields 65% of the time.”
