Abstract: The yield of grain and leguminous crops in Russia significantly depends on the weather conditions on the territory of agricultural production and, in particular, on the amount of precipitation and average monthly temperatures during the growing season. Means of adaptation to long-term climatic changes, such as the reclamation of farmland, including artificial irrigation according to standards developed by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, help to make the yields of grain and leguminous crops more sustainable. The Tambov region is in the zone of risky farming and is characterized by a dry spring-summer period. In addition, long-term climatic changes are imposed on regional weather patterns, covering the territories of all Federal districts of Russia. Ways to expand the reclamation of arable land in the Tambov region are already reflected in the program documents of the regional agricultural authorities. However, the share of reclaimed land is still insignificant in the total area of agricultural land. The application of the climate model for predicting the yield of grain and leguminous crops depending on the amount of precipitation from April to August of the calendar year and the sum of average monthly temperatures for the same period will allow more successfully adapting to weather changes and compensating for the lack of moisture in the region with artificial irrigation.
