Ag Logic weather station and soil moisture probe network

Weather Station Network

Ag Logic’s network of weather stations is designed to give farmers access to local, quality weather data at a fraction of the cost of purchasing and running their own station.

Our stations are regularly calibrated and maintained. They are located in sites central to farming, so you can find a station near you.

The data is easily accessible through a web browser or the Wildeye smartphone app.

Data is available in near-real time, with stations updating every 15 minutes

What is Evapotranspiration?

Evapotranspiration, or ETo, provides an estimate of how much water will be lost by plants in a day. Pasture managers can use the ETo number directly, and other crops will need to apply a correction factor based on crop age.

What is Delta T?

Spray droplets that dry too fast or too slowly will have an impact on efficacy. Delta T shows the optimal window for this, and when combined with wind speed can help identify the best time for spraying.

Subscription pricing

  • Single station: $150 + GST per year for the first user; $30 + GST per year for each additional user

  • Up to five stations: $400 + GST per year for the first user; $65 + GST per year for each additional user

  • More than five stations: $600 + GST per year for the first user; $100 + GST per year for each additional user

We can customise your stations for you, based on the stations you select in the sign-in form.

If you’re working in an organisation where you think you’ll have more than 10 people wanting to subscribe, we can set up discounted rates for centralised billing.

We can also add displays for many of the Bureau of Meteorology stations around the state at no extra cost.

Access to weather station data fast tracks agtech adoption in Tasmania

How did the AgriFutures Producer Technology Uptake Program (PTUP) farmers use weather and soil moisture data to improve their dairy, cropping or livestock operations? How can I subscribe to or get involved with the Ag Logic weather station and soil moisture probe network? What areas of Tasmania does the Ag Logic weather station and soil moisture probe network cover?

The Ag Logic weather station and soil moisture probe network has recently been highlighted by AgriFutures in a case study.  Brodie Hill from South Riana shared his experience in dairy, and Caitlin Radford of Moriarty shared hers in cropping and livestock. Both have since gone on to increase the amount of technology that they are using in their operations, given the ongoing support model which is at the heart of everything we do at Ag Logic.  We use hardware to produce the data needed to work with farmers to farm smarter, and make better decisions.

The network was initially established as a group of six locations in the Cradle Coast region. With further support from the TAS Farm Innovation Hub, and the inclusion of private and school farm stations the network has expanded to 56 locations from Geeveston to King Island to Winnaleah. Alongside the initial project, a series of workshops helped farmers interpret and use the data when making decisions. The data generated by the network now forms the basis for the monthly seasonal update webinars.

  • "I can’t imagine having our business now without our weather stations ... It sparked our interest to further expand our knowledge and our database and we now have two further moisture probes that have the probe as well as a rain gauge out in the paddock."

    Caitlin Radford, Cropping Farmer, Moriarty

  • “The weather station we have here measures a range of things – temperature, wind speed, rainfall, evapotranspiration, solar radiation, and soil moisture. I’m able to access that data through the Wildeye app so it’s very convenient on the phone, but I needed to know how to decipher it and how to really manage it. Ag Logic was there to help guide me through and explain how I could best use that data"

  • "It's a really good service for me as a field officer, especially being able to see soil temps, rainfall, wind etc. from home. Makes daily planning and decision making a lot easier at times."
