Project Summary
Agriculture in Minnesota generates more than $112 billion in total economic impact and supports more than 430,000 jobs. But agricultural production is intimately tied to weather and climate. We are engaging with farmers and other agricultural stakeholders to better understand their climate concerns and adaptive management needs, with the goal of creating a tool to help navigate decisions around seed selection, cover crops, tillage, infrastructure investments and other practices. We are also working with the agricultural sector to provide the latest information about observed and potential climate-related risks and effective adaptation strategies.
