How does WeatherBELL GrowerPro help you directly?

WeatherBELL's long range forecasts help me make decisions on seeding population, crop rotation and how many acres of each crop to plant. Their short-term forecasts help me decide whether to irrigate or save my aquifer allotment for when it would be needed more. I feel I have a huge advantage over neighboring farms who are using no weather service or conventional wisdom. - Jason, Colorado

GrowerPro is crucial for farmers like Jason to make decisions on irrigation, planting decisions and harvest. Knowing that the next few weeks will bring adequate rainfall can save costs on water, power and labor for irrigation. Awareness of early season temperatures and precipitation patterns are vitally important for deciding when to start planting.

Each week during the growing season, GrowerPro provides:

  • 30-Day Outlook: Temperature and precipitation forecast for the next month.
  • Growers Video: A video discussing the latest forecasts for temperature and precipitation in North America, including the latest longer term trends when appropriate.
  • Conference call: Have the opportunity to ask our meteorologists questions about the issues that concern you the most.

In addition, periodic seasonal forecasts will be issued that go out as far as five months into the future. WeatherBELL's videos and conference calls will give you the chance to learn about topics such as El Niño and La Niña and how ocean temperatures and other factors drive our weather patterns, in depth analysis that you won't get anywhere else.
