What to check when planning
Rain approaching
Check when rain is forecast, its distribution and any amounts reported by the source. Review harvest order and transport arrangements.
Periods without rain
Check forecast days without rain and observed soil moisture when organizing work. A few rain-free days do not in themselves establish a drought.
Changes in the forecast

Growers’ questions
Where can I check the weather forecast for my farm?
