The University of Vermont published the results of a study of farmers in the Northeast and what they think about risks due to changes in climate that have occurred over time and may occur in the future. In this study, Vermont farmers identified many site-specific risks that they associate with weather fluctuations and climate change. From their perspective, these risks are not new, but may be enhanced by climate trends that are occurring now. You can read more about the study in this article from the USDA Northeast Climate Hub here. A link to the full study is included. How do you think Southeastern ag producers compare to those in the Northeast?
