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)
Effects of Cold Stress on Livestock
We can’t control the weather but we can try do everything possible to reduce the effects of cold temperatures and windchill on livestock
Winter months in the northern latitudes can bring significant cold stress to livestock. They must acclimatize to prolonged periods of cold temperatures and sudden arctic blasts of extremely cold weather. Animals with a good body condition score (BCS) and access to shelter are better able to withstand both severe and lengthy cold periods.
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.
