- cryptoz 12y agoCongrats FarmLogs team! Q1: Does the data you collect include weather/atmosphere data? Q2: Does your system inform the equipment/farms of the weather forecast? Or, will it? I am building high-accuracy weather forecast systems using connected sensor networks; maybe you'd like to chat?
- vollmarj 12y agoHey Cryptoz, thanks! We do make use of weather and climate data in some of our models and visualizations. For instance, we use the gridded precip AHPS dataset from the National Weather Service to determine water accumulation at the field. We also use some large temperature datasets. In the past, we experimented with using the DarkSky API to alert farmers (while in the field) that rain is coming. We've since dropped that feature. In any case, we generally make use of remote sensed data and are not deploying sensors on farm.
