The agriculture industry is a rapidly evolving space that is heavily influenced by weather and climate events. Climate plays a critical role in plant growth, livestock health, and pesticide application. Whether you are interested in drought influence on crops, the importance of Mesonets to producers or are simply looking to learn something new, this session is tailored for you. During this session, we will delve into the relationship between climate and agriculture, assessing our role in this industry through an overview and three lightning talks. These presentations will be followed by a Q&A session that will provide an opportunity to have all your questions answered!
