    They drain the aquifers to water the corn. It evaporates and comes back down when the conditions are right. They’ve been right a lot but also I guess hard to model or we’ve really damaged the prediction services previously available to us.

      It’s always humid around large amounts of plants, even those that grow wild, because all plants transpire. IE sweat.

      There’s a lot of shit farming does that’s bad for the environment, but “corn sweat” isn’t a conspiracy to cover up the human hand in the high humidity recently. Just a new buzz word for a thing most people probably didn’t know about.
