Dr. Emerson Nafziger reviews how corn and soybean yields (by region) and weather have changed in Illinois over the past 40 years, and shows how that information can be used to develop weather-yield models for each crop. He then discusses global climate change, including causes and current trends in temperatures and in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. Illinois weather, predicted under climate change through 2075, were used along with the models developed to predict yield trends over the next 55 years.

Grain entrapment is an agricultural injury in which a person enters a grain bin or silo to dislodge a blockage caused by out-of-condition grain and becomes partially or fully entrapped or engulfed in grain. Each year in the US, approximately 30-grain entrapments occur, with roughly 50% of the people entrapped dying. In this session, Dr. Salah Issa explores these incidents and tries to provide answers regarding the cause of injury and death in grain entrapment, engulfment, and extrication.
