- Explore interactive tools for crop growth, pest forecasting, and risk evaluation
- Monitor climate trends, anomalies, and extreme events relevant to agriculture

Back to the workshop… Why join us, you ask? Your insights will directly influence the development of new weather tools and the completion of this new Ag Climate Dashboard to help your farm and operation make better weather-informed decisions. And… by the way…
The first 25 registrants will receive a $350 honorarium for their time and expertise!
