Weather for Farming

In this presentation, Philip Schuchardt shares practical insights on using weather forecasting to support day-to-day farm management. Drawing from experience on an organic farm in Elgin, Nebraska, he discusses how weather models can help farmers identify better windows for tillage, planting, haying, and other time-sensitive field operations.

The talk also highlights real-world examples from recent growing seasons, including alfalfa harvest decisions, wet-year challenges, and how forecast tools can improve timing and reduce risk. This video offers a useful perspective for farmers looking to make more informed weather-related decisions in their operations.
