On a November afternoon, Lawrence farmer Pantaleon Florez III is preparing his crops for winter. It’s nearing the end of an unseasonably warm late harvest season, filled with 60-degree temperatures and higher. Though this year’s mild fall has extended the season to grow food, Florez said he worries about a volatile climate that could lead to more tornadoes and stronger temperature oscillation.  “When you get a 90-degree day that drops to a 35-degree day, that can kill off crops just like that,” Florez said and snapped his fingers. “You can lose tons and tons of food that way.”
