# Kansas Farmers Will Be Disproportionately Affected by Rising Temps, Study Finds

> A Kansas State University study using USDA Risk Management Agency data finds drought and heat are the main causes of crop yield losses. A 1.8 degree Fahrenheit temperature rise would raise yield risk by 32% for corn and 11% for soybeans. Kansas is more exposed than other regions to warming.

## Why it matters
