Weather Station Upgrades: The Darling Downs Cotton Growers Inc (DDCGI), and individual growers established 21 weather stations between the period 1996-1998, to provide growers with localised weather information to assist with on-farm management operations. The DDCGI has maintained these stations over this period, and are now transitioning to a web based platform (OzForecast). This grant has enabled all stations to be upgraded by the DDCGI to the current platform which provides better access to all users at a significantly reduced cost.
