Because of climate change and the weather becoming less predictable, farming has become a risky business. Farmers' traditional ways of making decisions are less reliable now that the weather and how pests and diseases act have changed.
Agriculture is not an excellent way to make a living or make money because input costs are rising, productivity is decreasing, the market is unstable, and returns are low.
For farming to work well, farmers need a flexible system that helps them make decisions and advice that changes based on the weather. By doing this, they reduce risks related to the weather, cut down on losses and production costs, boost productivity, and bring in more money.
The Watershed Organization Trust (WOTR) made a phone app called FarmPrecise to meet this need. FarmPrecise makes crop management suggestions based on the weather and unique to each farm and its crops. By doing this, the farmer can make decisions about farming that are both right and good for business.
