Adjusting To Climate Change – AG Matters [VIDEO]

Whether you believe in global warming or not, you can't deny there is some climate change going on that adversely effects farming. Cornell's Institute for Climate Change and Agriculture offers tips on dealing with warmer winters or late freezes.

In the video below, farmers from around New York and Cornell experts discuss how they deal with changing weather.

There's frequently extremely wet springs that delay field work and results in shortage of hay and forage crops.
