Weather drives every decision
that we make on this farm.
What is a primary driver in any
farming operation is weather.
Better weather forecasts,
better understanding of soil
moisture and evapotranspiration,
and anticipating less irrigation
and having room for a precipitation event.
It's all about time. And it's also about trust.
How do you know that
that image or that recommendation,
that photo is actually good data?
What's the resolution? Is it really helpful?
Or is it too large a view?
And those are questions we didn't know to ask.
But today, the IBM Watson tool allows us
to start to look at our operation in a larger space.
If you can rely on a really good weather model
that lets you feed that crop and nurture that crop,
it's a huge asset.
