Answer
From a geographical perspective, the decline in wheat production in the USA is mainly due to rising temperatures caused by global warming. Even regions in higher latitudes are experiencing warmer climates. Since wheat thrives best in cooler conditions, the increasing heat is negatively affecting its growth, leading to reduced yields.
