Skeptical US farmers quietly adapting to climate change

Reuters reports that some farmers in the Midwest are adapting to climate change. Pretty good news! Early adapters will come out ahead, me thinks.

Some scientists and agronomists are becoming increasingly concerned about the real effects they see now on growing conditions in the Midwest, the vast black-soiled region long the core region of the U.S. agricultural miracle.

They also say that not only skeptical farmers but also government authorities are trying to quietly adapt, from equipment to planting to research.
