CHICAGO (Reuters) - Sizzling temperatures in the northern U.S. Plains spring wheat belt will spread next week into parts of the western Midwest, threatening corn yield prospects as the crop enters its key pollination phase, meteorologists said on Friday.

While it's too early to predict the full effects, many fruit and vegetable crops could experience a lower yield this year and decreased seed production, which would impact next year's crops as well, according to pollination experts and entomologists.

Missing grain on the ends of corn ears, known as "tipback" and an indication of dryness and excess heat during pollination, brought down overall yield projections, scouts said on the first day of the Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour.

Forecasts have been relatively benign this week, but the outlooks will become even more important in the next two months as pollination followed by grain fill occurs – more chance for volatility should they call for hot and dry stretches.

At times the gesture is minimal: Kader Attia has placed books by Freud and Jacques Lacan on an antique Vietnamese ladder; the quiet juxtaposition invites viewers to consider the prevalence of cross-pollination, and often exploitation, across different cultures.

The National Yiddish Theater Folksbiene, a downtown cultural mainstay for 100 years, has recently placed an emphasis on cross-cultural pollination: its annual KulturfestNYC festival started in 2015 and has brought together performers from Argentina to Russia to Japan.

Seven species of bees were added to the endangered species list last year, even while bee pollination alone provides over $15 billion in value to agricultural crops each year in the United States, according to a 2014 White House memorandum.

On New Year's Day, after losing more than $1 million dollars' worth of honey and pollination contracts over the past two years, the Coys closed Crooked Creek Bee Co., their retail honey business, and made plans to relocate to Mississippi.

Just when almond growers and other California farmers were hoping for rainfall relief this year, the almond industry is concerned the persistent cold, wet weather brought on by El Nino might dampen pollination activity and potentially trigger lower crop yields.

Some kind of mutual benefit has to be involved in the interaction, and compatibility is key; humans entering a threesome with plants to aid in the pollination process is a go, whereas certain modes of interspecies sexuality could constitute abuse.

Because there are lots of case studies of companies that have made completely different companies, but they're so divorced from the core business that you never get the cross-pollination that you need to make one plus one equal three.

Forward Union Fair continues to attract palpable civic energy and commitment, at least partly because several leaders, organizers, and concerned citizens recognize that this kind of conscientious cross-pollination of arts and civic organizations is a tool for transforming our politics.

While observing hummingbirds in New Mexico, they noticed that when noise upset the birds' usual patterns of seed dispersal and pollination, this in turn affected where and when seeds were available for local mice — and, ultimately, where new seedlings might sprout.

I invited him to do another project after finding out the theme for this year's London Biennale Manila Pollination: exploration of "built, temporary, and imagined architecture for sharing culture and inter-connectedness," which is basically the definition of Second Life.

"I think it's neat that this was mostly a pollination and reproductive effect, not only a better-nutrients-in-the-soil effect, and I think most of us would have expected it to be the other way around," Dr. Crone said.

Set up in 2012, IPBES released a first study on Friday about pollination and found that bees, bats, butterflies and others were in decline, even though they are vital for global food production worth up to $577 billion a year.

During pollination season, the bees are loaded onto a dozen flatbed trucks and nine or 290 tractor-trailers and ferried to work, starting first in the almond orchards in late January, then moving to other California crops like broccoli and avocados.

Free Range is an opportunity to "create a space for cross-pollination," says Self, whose large mixed-media works, which often depict black female figures, have appeared in numerous solo exhibitions and become favorites of the art dealer Jeffrey Deitch.
