Andrew Johanson, agronomy manager at Mulgowie Farming Company in Queensland's Lockyer Valley, shared his experience:
"We've been trialling Jane’s Weather, which uses our on-site weather station data combined with machine learning. It's been more accurate than BOM forecasts, especially in predicting rainfall totals."
Johanson emphasised the importance of accurate forecasts for crop planning and harvest scheduling, noting that unreliable predictions had previously led to crop losses and supply issues.
Jane’s Weather integrates real-time data from local weather stations with global weather models and machine learning algorithms to provide forecasts tailored to specific microclimates. This approach offers farmers detailed insights into conditions like rainfall, temperature, and wind, for better decision-making for planting, irrigation, and harvesting.
The ABC News feature underscores the growing role of AI in enhancing agricultural resilience and efficiency. By delivering more accurate, localised forecasts, Jane’s Weather is helping farmers adapt to the challenges of climate variability and stay ahead of the weather with greater confidence.
