Barb Boustead highlighted how corn sweat, the late-summer humidity spike due to corn plants cooling themselves, is becoming stickier as climate change progresses.
Dennis Todey emphasized that the majority of corn's evapotranspiration occurs in July, not August, which is crucial for understanding how climate change impacts this process.
Researchers indicate that the increasing demand for corn due to ethanol production and expanding corn acreage contributes significantly to the rising humidity levels, exacerbating summer discomfort.
Lew Ziska notes the need for continued research on how various factors, including rainfall and crop variety, will affect the changing patterns of corn sweat.
