We assess the CO<sub>2</sub> fertilization effect on US agriculture using spatially-varying CO<sub>2</sub> data from NASA's Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) satellite covering the majority of US cropland under actual growing conditions. This study complements the many CO<sub>2</sub> enrichment experiments that have found...
