A Climate and Weather Product Resource for Enhancing Production Decisions
Welcome to Farm Smart! Here you will find a variety of resources to help you learn about and use a wealth of climate and weather products that could be used in a variety of different farming decisions. Many of these weather products are available on other web sites, however those sites say very little about how people should use the weather and climate information they provide. The purpose of this site, which was funded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Transition of Research Applications to Climate Service (TRACS) Program, is to provide producers with links to useful weather and climate products, and to describe how those products might be used in farming decisions.
To get started, view or search the list of Weather Products that this site discusses. Or, if you would rather see products that are relevant to specific production decisions, start on the Production Decisions page. If at any time you would like to try applying these climate and weather products to actual production decisions and see how experts have applied them, visit our ThinkAboutIt page.
