Summary
This project was part of the ‘Forewarned is Forearmed’ Rural R&D for Profit project. Four short videos were produced to demonstrate the 'Forewarned is Forearmed' products and their use in decision making and risk mitigation within the red-meat, sugar, grains and cotton industries.
Objectives
1. Produce four short videos of the Forewarned is Forearmed operational products, that show:
a. how to interpret deciles for all industries
b. how to read and understand the rainfall burst and probability of exceeding products for all industries
c. how and why producers from the red-meat industry could use the probability of exceeding in decision making, and
d. how and why producers from the cotton, sugar and red-meat industries use the rainfall burst in decision making.
2. Provide access to the videos on the nacp.org.au website and make available for others.
