Curious about the specifics behind observing weather station data?

Our Yield Potential Manager, @danielle_epp, has outlined what goes into sorting through this data and what we take away from it according to different #SWAT Zones.

One half section, multiple zones, 3 depths, very different soil textures

Getting a start on hand texturing soils from weather stations. Having accurate soil textures from depth will improve soil moisture readings. #SWATWater #SWATMaps #CropIntelligence

This is what 30mm + of rain will do the soil moisture profile. #SWATWater #SWATMaps

A moist day for a #swatcam install. 2nd machine in #MB, ready to take some pictures!

It turns out rain buckets don't work so well when they are frozen. But don't panic the soil moisture sensors are responding. #SWATMaps #SWATWater

[Danielle Epp @danielle_epp]

Daily check of all the weather stations we manage to make sure everything is functioning smoothly. Spotting any issues early helps eliminate downtime.

Let's all just agree that using black tape to put bird spikes on a solar panel is bad idea. Took them all off and suddenly the stations work again.

@MikePalmier Our first one this year took us 3 hours to dig. We earned every cm with sweat and tears 😂

The rocks are not my friends today

@MikePalmier At least this was good soft ground. I would have lost my mind if it was a struggle all the way only to hit a rock at 95cm.

Another one in the ground just in time

On this day 5 years ago I took this hard working team for a steak lunch. We caused quite the scene because I guess no one had seen an all female work crew before. #womeninag

Installed zone based weather stations with soil moisture probes at our #swatresearch site. Third season of #swatwater maps but this year they are automatically generated in our #swatrecords app. Hills were very dry, depressions were wet! #cropprosmartfarm ⁦@CropProConsult⁩

The satisfaction of installing a weather station just seconds before the rain starts #SWATMaps #SWATWater #CropIntelligence

[Danielle Epp @danielle_epp]

First maintenance visit of the season. Getting a battery changed quick before the rain hits. #SWATMaps #SWATWater #CropIntelligence

[Danielle Epp @danielle_epp]

First weather station of the season!

@danielle_epp and I were hard at work last week calibrating, inspecting, cleaning, and updating our clients #weatherstations to be ready for the spring. Exciting times at @CropProConsult with the launch of #Swatwater #maps. Precision Soil Moisture Maps. Fun season ahead!
