As Queensland farmers continue to adapt to the challenges of changeable weather conditions, Jane’s Weather is proud to play a key role in advancing agricultural weather technology through QDAF’s AgTech seminars, led by Clinton McGrath. These seminars, hosted throughout 2024, have provided a vital platform for showcasing innovative tools like Jane’s Weather, empowering farmers with precision forecasting to optimise their operations.
The Role of AgTech in Farming Success
Clinton McGrath, a respected voice in Queensland’s Department of Primary Industries (DPI), has been instrumental in driving awareness of cutting-edge solutions that address the unique needs of farmers across the region. His AgTech seminars have become a cornerstone of knowledge-sharing, bringing farmers face-to-face with technologies designed to improve efficiency and sustainability.
Jane’s Weather’s partnership with QDAF was highlighted during these sessions, with a strong focus on how hyper-local and AI-driven forecasts are transforming farm management. By providing tools that predict frost, manage spray conditions, and calculate growing degree days, Jane’s Weather helps farmers make informed decisions with greater confidence.
Precision Forecasting in Action
The partnership has already borne fruit, as seen in the success of growers like Dicky Bill Farming. By leveraging Jane’s Weather’s most accurate weather forecast in agriculture, the Dicky Bill team has enhanced their operational planning, reducing risks tied to weather unpredictability. Their story was shared as one of Clinton’s best seminars, inspiring other farmers to embrace technology as part of their growth strategies.
CEO Jane Bunn shared her gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with QDAF:
"Clinton McGrath’s seminars have been a fantastic platform for demonstrating the impact of Jane’s Weather on farm productivity. We are grateful to have been part of these sessions in 2024 and look forward to continuing our partnership in 2025."
Looking Ahead
Founder and CEO Jane Bunn also delivers farmers weekly weather forecast updates via her YouTube channel, providing Australian farmers with a more localised weather forecast in agriculture compared to other agricultural weather forecasting companies.
As Jane’s Weather continues to refine its forecasting tools and integrate with weather stations across the state, the company remains committed to supporting QDAF’s mission of fostering innovation and resilience in agriculture.
