US Cereal Yield vs US Inflation Rate

US Cereal Yield and US Inflation Rate correlate at r = -0.32 over 64 years (1961–2024), p = 0.0092. With the time trend removed, r = -0.13. Holds up after detrending.

Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.0092) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.13). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
