What’s bad for farmers is bad for all of us. And as the climate changes, many farmers are struggling to adapt.Laura Lengnick is a soil scientist and consultant who specializes in climate risk management. Lengnick: “The most challenging effect all over the country is what I like to call ‘too much and not enough’ water. We’re getting very heavy rainfalls punctuated by fairly long, and relatively severe, droughts.” Crop quantity and quality can suffer as a result: too little rain and plants dry up, but too much can make the roots rot. Farmers are doing their best to prepare.
