Agriculture Canada looks to crowdsource weather

Agriculture Canada is seeking producers to complete a monthly survey for its Agroclimate Impact Reporter.

“The AIR network provides valuable and reliable data that are mapped and used in the assessment and development of policies and programs including AgriRecovery and the Livestock Tax Deferral Provision, which can provide assistance to the industry during extreme weather and climate conditions and events,” the website for the initiative states.

The survey is conducted during the last week of the month for the growing season, ending in October. It can be done online, by email or by phone.
