Climate Variability Implications for Agricultural Crop Production and Risk Management: Discussion.

The article discusses studies on the effects of climate variability on crop production and management. It mentions the bad weather conditions in several areas in the U. S. including in the Cedar River in Iowa and in the upper Midwest. Effects of climate variability include the increase in crop prices. Several papers on climate variability and crop management are discussed including on how El Nino Southern Oscillation affect yield distribution of crops. Another paper examines climate stationarity. An overview of the papers is provided.
