Weather and Climate
The benefits of using digital technology for weather and climate management means farmers can monitor, analyse and predict conditions with ever-increasing precision. Using existing and emerging technologies, growers are able to:
- Integrate weather monitoring devices and smart ear tags to increase accuracy in animal tracking, and improve understanding of animal health, welfare, movements, feeding rates, and growth rates
- monitor temperature and humidity in feed lots to help predict and manage Excessive Heat Loads (EHL)
- Collect more precise, real-time information about pasture and soil moisture conditions
- Utilise data for improved input (i.e. feed, water) efficiency and farm planning
- Determine when to purchase supplementary feed
- Plan ahead and reduce risk
- Detect conditions that promote parasites and diseases
