Weather Stations
A weather station collects essential environmental data including rainfall, leaf wetness, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction, and soil moisture to support informed, real time crop production decisions. Powered by Crop Intelligence, this data is converted into practical insights such as available moisture, cumulative rainfall, and forecasted precipitation, which can be used to model water driven yield potential throughout the growing season. FarmGate by Crop Intelligence delivers site specific weather analytics with a strong agronomic focus, helping growers make confident in season decisions that improve crop performance and maximize return on investment.
