Indiana Agriculture and Agricultural Water Management in a Changing Climate 

Laura Bowling (Purdue Agronomy) discusses how projected climate change is expected to affect Indiana’s agricultural productivity and associated environmental quality through a unique hydrologic perspective. Indiana will have warmer temperatures, greater precipitation, increased duration and intensity of extreme heat during the growing season, and a longer frost-free period, but many of the negative impacts come about through asynchronization of historic precipitation, temperature and growing cycles. This webinar discusses potential impacts to annual and perennial crops, livestock soil and water, as well as adaptation measures that may mitigate the negative impacts of climate change on farms.
