I wonder... has anyone done any studies about new farm lands which would become available? The prairies would be baked into cheap ceramics but I wonder about the viability of would-be farmland further north if the growing season was long enough.
The area in which I grew up had too short a growing season for, oh, just about everything but had the right soil for most cereal crops. If the season was just another 30-45 days longer, perhaps we'd have new breadbasket regions.

Purely idle speculation on my part.
