The Nebraska State Climate Office is seeking input from the state’s agriculture industry regarding how they use climate information and what data and tools they would like to use.
A short, online survey has been developed to gather the information and ideas. All responses will be kept confidential and used to guide development of climate resources, tools and programming.
A team of climatologists and data specialists will be developing information tools to aid decision-making for Nebraska’s agricultural industry. Knowing more about what they are currently using and the information they would like to use in the future can help develop user-friendly tools.
In January 2016, the Nebraska State Climate Office was created in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources to serve as the primary source of climate information for the Cornhusker State. The office manages the Nebraska Mesonet, a statewide network of weather stations, as well as other data resources.
The survey will be available online through March 25.
