Farm Weather Talk #003 – Yield Prediction
Just because you kick some soil around in the spring and guess that you have enough soil moisture, you really have no idea what’s actually going on until you dig down and take a look (which takes time) or use IoT technology (easier approach) to know what you have.

METOS® and Auravant cooperation
METOS® is joining forces with Auravant to improve agronomic decision-making processes.
The alliance will enable Auravant users to synchronize their METOS® sensors and therefore simplify their processes in an open and free way.
New nMETOS – the revolution of the connected fields
Pessl Instruments announces the launch of new category of weather stations – nMETOS (nano METOS).
WHAT IS… The impact of snow and cold on wheat production
Snow and cold can be good for wheat production: snow provides moisture for the soil, while cold temperature can eliminate diseases or provide insulation to very cold temperatures.
»Climate change has already increased the occurrence of extreme temperature events, which has restricted the production and development of winter wheat.« (Zheng et al., 2018)
Use Case: Site-specific weather forecast and work planning tools
You cannot control the weather. But you can control how you respond to it.
The importance of weather forecast and work planning tools in agriculture is not something that’s new, but it’s something that many of the farmers take as a beneficial and helpful must-have, when managing their work and monitoring their crops.
How to start field monitoring
5 main features of entry level IoT devices for precision agriculture and field monitoring
When it comes to adoption of new technologies and utilizing advanced monitoring solutions, farming has come a long way in the last years. Real-time, actionable data and decision support based on the actual measurements from the field mean that field operations are easily optimized, reducing the unnecessary expenses, lowering the impact on the environment and producing higher quality yield.
