Climate Monitor

---

Uses weather observations from the Long Paddock SILO to provide historical temperature, rainfall and evaporation observations and to calculate a range of temperature thresholds, chilling and growth potential.

HortCarbon Info

---

Enables growers of horticultural crops to calculate their Carbon Footprint. Electricity used for irrigation and refrigeration to cool produce, fuel used in farming operations, nitrogenous fertilizers and crop residues are the major on-farm contributors to GHG emissions in horticulture. This tool allows the grower to see what is making the highest contribution and to compare their emissions with similar sized enterprises and other agricultural sectors.
