Liebe Group on the Front Foot of Innovation with Jane’s Weather

The Liebe Group, a farmer-driven, not-for-profit organisation in Western Australia's Wheatbelt, has been a valued partner of Jane’s Weather since the early days of PRO development. This collaboration began with an introduction through Dylan Hirsch, a PRO user featured in a WA Farmer Weekly article about hyper-local forecasting in the Wheatbelt. Dylan’s enthusiastic feedback connected Rebecca Wallis, Liebe Group’s manager, to Jane’s Weather, sparking a trial that has since flourished into a productive partnership.

The Humble Beginnings - Exploring Opportunities

Rebecca, intrigued by Dylan’s insights, reached out to Jane’s Weather with a vision of empowering Liebe Group’s 150-200 growers. Early discussions centered on integrating Wildeye weather stations into Jane’s Weather to deliver hyper-local forecasts for unique microclimates across their farms.

“It’s exciting to see a platform like Jane’s Weather evolving alongside our growers’ needs. This partnership has real potential for the group.” — Rebecca Wallis, Manager, Liebe Group
