# Clusters of Weather Extremes Will Increase Risks to Corn Crops, Society | NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)

> A NASA JPL study published in Environmental Research Letters projects that by 2100, climate-driven extremes will double the risk of corn harvest failures in at least three of the six major corn regions in the same year. The US Midwest is identified as the area at highest risk.

## Why it matters

The findings concern long-term climate risk rather than the current crop, so they have little effect on present supply or prices. Markets are unlikely to react to it directly.
