Farmers in the central and southern Great Plains grow much of the country’s bread-type wheat, hard red winter. It’s sown in the fall to establish roots ahead of winter so it can start growing before the summer heat sets in. Kansas is the largest US producer, with Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado and Nebraska big growers as well.

The extreme March heat has the fingerprints of the climate crisis, Winkley says, because of the drought and prolonged heat the area was already experiencing.

“It wasn’t just a weird, wonky March. We understand there’s something bigger here,” he says. “Especially at the peak of the heat in March, we know that those temperatures would be rare or almost virtually impossible at that time of the year in the central Plains, without an influence of climate change.”

I guess the wheat doesn't know that climate change is a hoax. Maybe Trump should issue an executive order telling it to grow.
