Editorial statement
The results I find particularly relevant are:
1. While individual crops have specific drought risks, an assessment of the risks across them is a valuable approach.
2. A clear link to meteorological drought in a particular seasonal period can be identified

Short summary
Droughts are a threat to agricultural crops, but different factors influence how much damage occurs. This is important to know to create meaningful risk maps and to evaluate adaptation options. We investigate the years 2013–2022 in Brandenburg, Germany, and find in particular the soil quality and meteorological drought in June to be statistically related to the observed damage. Measurement of crop health from satellites is also related to soil quality and not necessarily to anomalous yields.
