Easy spatio-temporal visualization of 15 selected efficient wheat yield producing countries using #gganimate in R. The below-mentioned bar chart race shows that Ireland leads the world in efficient wheat yields. Related to this, an article written by John Spink @teagasc says “Yields over a 10-year period are nearly 10% higher than the UK and well above those of New Zealand, which boasts the world wheat yield record.”
The respective code is given and explained on my Github account.
