PEANUTS
Peanuts are finicky crops – according to a report from CBC, they require a stable and particular environment to grow. Too little rain, and they’ll fail to germinate; too much rain, and they’ll grow moldy and potentially contract a disease. To cap it off, they don’t respond well to too much heat, either – their shoots will become scorched and they’ll fail to grow at all.
Much of America’s peanut production comes from the southern states, which are susceptible to droughts and heat waves that have destroyed entire peanut crops. Thus, many believe that peanuts could become extinct sooner rather than later.
