We pair a panel of county-level crop\nyields in th e US with a fine-scale weather data set that incorporates the whole distrib ution of temperatures between the minimum and maximum within each day and a cross all days in the growing season.\nYields increase in temperature until about 29C for corn\, 30C for soybeans\, and 32C for cotton\, but temperatu res above these thresholds become very harmful. The slope of the decline ab ove the optimum\nis significantly steeper than the incline below it. The sa me nonlinear and asymmetric relationship is found whether we consider time series or cross-sectional variation in weather and yields. This\nsuggests l imited potential for adaptation within crop species because the latter incl udes farmers' adaptations to warmer climates and the former does not. Area- weighted average yields given current\ngrowing regions are predicted to dec rease by 31-43% under the slowest warming scenario and 67-79% under the mos t rapid warming scenario by the end of the century.
