How has global warming and weather changes affected the horticulture industry in the US the past four years?

As a Horticulturalist Im going to just give two brief answers to this and as Global Warming is still in its investigations tage note that these are just theories.

1. It has/will help in the manner of crop production. warmer more temperate climates open up the possibility of enlarging crops yield and production in some areas. Conversely, In the north atlantic it is going to be devestating. As the polar Ice caps melt, the cooler temperature of the water, this can cool the Gulf stream front that usually warms some northern areas, thereby intiating the onset of a harsher winter climate. This would greatly dimish crop production and yield causing mass famines across europe.

2. Bad in the way that most diseases need a ceratin temperature Farenheit to begin to grow. when global temperatures meet these requirements, especially in the more humid areas of the globe, then we can expect a higher amount of these diseases to be around and grow more proficiently.
