Development of an AgWeather Website for Kentucky Corn Growers

We regard this proposal as the first step in developing a collaboration between the University of Kentucky and the KY Climate Center at Western Kentucky University that will lead to the development of a farmer-­?friendly AgWeather website. This website will combine and utilize real-­?time KY Mesonet data with agricultural decision support tools developed at UK. This will require a series of meetings involving information technology individuals, researchers and extension personnel from both institutions to discuss current capability and required resources. We will look to both the Kentucky Corn and Kentucky Small Grain Growers for guidance and feedback in developing an effective website.
