EU Fines Google $1 Billion Amid Wheat Price Surge

Wheat farmers in North Dakota are facing unprecedented heat stress as crop prices surge to a three-year high. The recent spate of 100-degree days is putting immense pressure on fields, which were already at risk due to escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine over exports in the Black Sea.

Farmers like Jim Pellman are concerned about the impact of heat on their yields. 'I'm actually surprised they're holding out as well as they are,' he said during a recent crop tour.

Meanwhile, Google has been fined $1 billion by the European Union for violating the Digital Markets Act. The company was accused of unfairly favoring its own search services and preventing app developers from steering consumers to offers outside its Play Store.
