how recent drought exposure, drought risk, and other climatic features have influenced adoption of DT corn--a water … risk--rather than short-run drought exposure in recent prior years--led to increased adoption of DT corn varieties in 2016 …. Farmers are more likely to plant DT corn on highly erodible land and less likely to irrigate such varieties, consistent with …
