Host: DPIRD research agronomist Janette Pratt
Guest Speakers: DPIRD research scientist Dr Meredith Guthrie and Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Jonathan How.

In this episode of Grains Convo, Dr Meredith Guthrie and Bureau of Meteorology senior meteorologist Jonathan How join Janette Pratt to talk about the climate tools available to growers to help with their decisions on-farm during the season.

Meredith tells us about DPIRD’s weather stations and monthly Seasonal Climate Outlook newsletter, which contains useful maps on rainfall, soil moisture, frost, heat, wind, etc.

Jonathan provides a bit of a science lesson on what a climate model is, how BoM creates its ACCESS–S model and what factors lead to a forecast sometimes missing the mark.

Together, they talk about what Mother Nature currently has in store for the South West Land Division in 2023.
