Join Andrew Maclean, Agriculture Customer Lead, Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and Ian Moss, Agronomist, Farm Management Consultant, and Founder of FARM (Farm Agronomy & Resource Management) for a webinar focussed on the BOM’s weather and climate tools, and how they can be used to support farm agronomic decisions.

Ian will discuss how FARM is working with farmers to effectively utilise these types of tools to assist on farm agronomic decisions.
