It is a very short paper ( 3 pages, with graphs…) that purports to show the degree of movement to be expected in crop zones from the coming cold cycle. Interesting to note is that it is date stamped with December 2008. Some people are just a little quicker than others…

Ok, so David Archibald takes the crop hardiness zone map and shows where some folks have said it moved warm zones north based on degrees of heating, then compares it with expanded crop production during those years, allows some for better growing methods, and turns it around the other way. How much will be lost and how far will zones move if we head back to cold?

The answer is basically we in the USA lose about 19% of production (about what we export today) and the degree of zone movement depends on the latitude.
