# Predictions of a mild, wet summer could mean higher yields for Missouri farmers | STLPR

> University of Missouri researchers forecast mild weather and moderate rainfall for the summer, which could lift Missouri corn and soybean yields by 5 to 10 percent. Yields in southeast Missouri are projected to be slightly lower. Forecasters also expect El Niño to return this year.
