Everyone in agriculture follows the weather, including the Mecardo team.  We are however not experts in that field, and we often have discussions with our friend Dr David Stephens of Agro Meteorology. We wanted to pick his brains on why this year has been so poor for the majority of the country.  Topics covered include: The drivers of the last years weather and what caused it to be so bad. The creation of models to forecast weather His research into weather patterns moving due to changes in climatic conditions.  Agrometeorology: Agromet.com.au Remember to visit Mecardo.com.au and sign up for a free trial for our independent markets analysis.
