US Cereal Yield vs US Population
US Cereal Yield and US Population correlate at r = +0.97 over 64 years (1961–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = +0.37. Interpret with caution.
Verdict: Interpret with caution. Much of the apparent link is driven by a shared time trend: r falls from 0.97 to 0.37 once the trend is removed.
