Changes in field workability and drought risk from projected climate change drive spatially variable risks in Illinois cropping systems.

As weather patterns become more volatile and extreme, risks introduced by weather variability will become more critical to agricultural production. The availability of days suitable for field work is driven by soil temperature and moisture, both of which may be altered by climate change. We projecte...
