What does every one feel is best weather service out their. For years I was with Martel crop projections. Weather service from states with excellent coverage for Brazil and Argentina. But when better offer came for Gail she went with new weather service. I stayed on for a few months but quickly saw they were not very accurate. Then this year I have been Using World Weather Inc. on a trial basis then monthly. Well This is one weather forecaster that's been bang on. Environment Canada was calling for beautiful weather last week and no sign of rain. Then they had rain but eastern Sask would not see much. Well world weather called it a week ahead and we finally received rain. Before we were on the line maybe yes maybe no.
Well today I paid for full service. They will continue with the Canadian service till October but if no interest they will be dropping this service. I feel weather forecasting or accurate forecasting makes a farm way more extra income than the cost of service. I remember in 2002 a neighbor getting water from our dugout just days before the frost. He was spraying for disease and asked why we weren't spraying I said if it freezes their will be no use. Well it froze his crop wasn't harvested it slowed the crop down and actually lost a week. Just one example wondering what others are doing or using. Environment Canada is a waste of time for long range. But it has nice radar maps.
