Extreme heat, dry spells and uneven rain are detrimental to #crop yields. Unfavorable weather disturbs crop cycles and makes it challenging to sustain the #agricultural productivity necessary to meet rising #demand. Read the full article: https://okt.to/DiJl6K

#Droughts can be very hard on society because they are often long-lasting and costly, impacting #agriculture, #ecosystems, #manufacturing, and other sectors. Weather Source is proud to be a NOAA #WeatherReady Nation (WRN) partner. Learn more about drought and view current conditions at drought.gov

This year, Northern Mexico suffered two climate events: severe drought followed by flooding. With increased abiotic stress, many crops suffered losses. Acadian technology supported stressed crops through this period of severe weather. Watch this video to see how Acadian products helped mitigate stress in a corn crop to allow for an easier harvest compared to non-treated corn on the same farm. Read about how Acadian can help in times of water stress: https://bit.ly/3XqBESU #AbioticStress #RegenerativeAgriculture

BC grain farmer Malcolm Odermatt faces uncertainty as drought threatens harvest. With repeated dry spells impacting crop yields, farmers like Odermatt are calling for adaptation and technological solutions to weather challenges. https://hubs.la/Q02pklLV0 #BCFarmers #DroughtImpact #CropYields #Adaptation #TechnologicalSolutions

🍃From enduring droughts to facing floods and relentless heat, it's crucial to empower our growers with the right knowledge. Learn how #Biostimulants serve as a vital ally, safeguarding crop yield and ensuring top-notch quality. 'Plant biostimulants are like an insurance. They allow farmers to maintain their production under adverse conditions.'📹⤵️

### 2. **Altered Precipitation Patterns** - **Droughts and Flooding**: Climate change can lead to more extreme weather events, including prolonged droughts and heavy rainfall. Both can severely impact crop yields. Drought conditions can stress plants and reduce growth, while excessive rain can lead to flooding and soil erosion. - **Water Availability**: Changes in precipitation patterns can affect water availability for irrigation, making it challenging for farmers to maintain consistent crop production.

Drought is not a lack of water. 💦 We NEVER lack water. We live on a WATER PLANET. 🌎 🌍 There is always invisible water vapor in the air. Drought is a failure to CONVERT water vapor into viable clouds, ⛅ rain, 🌧 and a failure to retain that water on the earth within plants, 🌳 soil, and water structures. Converting heat-holding water vapor into viable cooling low-lying clouds produced through bioaerosols made by plants while protecting soils, is the end game. We can use water retention landscapes, rich soil fed by microorganisms and livestock nutrient cycling, cover crops, trees, and plants of all varieties producing as much foliage as possible, all of which cool the earth, release necessary cloud seeding aerosols, and provoke rainfall. Once again, drought is not a lack of water, but a failure to convert water vapor into clouds rain, and a failure to retain water in the soil. AgReserves, Inc. J.R.
