If current environmental trends continue through the end of the century, the world could see corn production decline by 40 percent but wheat yields gain 30-40 percent, according to a top NASA scientist.

The impact of changing climate conditions on the world’s wheat, corn, soybean and rice production are likely to be seen sooner than previously estimated. And of those crops, only wheat is expected to see increases in yield.

Increased availability of high-speed internet in rural areas can help boost crop yields and lower fertilizer, seed, and fuel costs, according to a Federal Communications Commission study.

Crop insurance for corn, soybeans and wheat will cost more because of the expected effects of climate change on yields, the Economic Research Service concluded in a report made public Monday.
