Well, the Corn Belt looks nice and pretty on that map.  Prettier than it does when you look at the corn.  With the recent rains, our beans may be better than previously feared, at least if the wetter weather continues.  My first prediction for the future is that the dark green areas in the Texas Panhandle and western Kansas will shrink in the not-too-distant future.  The future of the rest of the dark green areas?  I don't know.
