Is global warming why corn prices are so low?

I’m originally from North Dakota. No corn was ever grown there. Now with this modified corn seed they use it is everywhere

Also the saying about corn used to be “knee high by the Fourth of July
Now by then it is about six feet high.

Short-season commodity corn is in the 95-105 days range.

The average growing season in the Corn Belt has been lengthening in recent decades, as well as having had historical periods of shortening.

The root genetic plants that current corn is bred from grew in hotter, drier climates than today’s Corn Belt.
