Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives

Manitoba Ag-Weather Program


Agriculture is affected by the weather more than any other factor. It is therefore important to have accurate and timely weather information to properly assess conditions and risks in order to make informed decisions. Manitoba Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives has developed an ag-weather initiative.

The program has three main goals:

  1. Improving weather monitoring across agricultural Manitoba.
     
  2. Encouraging partnerships and sharing of weather information.
     
  3. Developing value-added agrometeorological tools to provide a decision support system for Manitoba producers.
