How Will You Use Your Weather Station?

The Vintners

Their Story

They found the perfect vineyard on a rolling hillside and sank their savings into the dream of raising grapes and producing award-winning wines. Even though their climate, with its foggy, cool summers, mild winters and infrequent frosts, is ideal, they still have to make the daily weather-based decisions that determine the success—or failure—of their crop. They needed real-time data from their own vineyard's micro-climate, which happens to be miles from their office; miles from anything in fact! They chose a Vantage Pro2 Plus system and installed new Vantage Connect to bring that remote station's data right into their office via a cellular connection. They use WeatherLink software to log and store data to use in future growing seasons. They added a Wireless Leaf & Soil Moisture Temperature Station to aid in irrigation decisions and the Integrated Pest Management Module for Grapes to manage pests before damage occurs. They dream of expanding their vineyard and adding weather stations in remote fields. They need the durability, accuracy, and update speed of Davis stations; and the flexibility to grow and add on to their system offered by the Vantage Pro2.
