Crop yield behavior depicted in Fig. 3 is highly variable between
states and years, with some states exhibiting relatively stable yields
(e.g., MA) through time and others with strong fluctuations (e.g., PR
and RS) – in many cases in synchrony with variations expressed in the
remote sensing anomalies, indicating sensitivity to climate drivers.
Year-to-year yield fluctuations and trends may also be related to the
technological “package” that some states have developed for these
