"We followed your valuable advice on the dry predicted Spring and did not put any urea on the crops. They will still have reasonable crop yields, whereas many neighbours and other folk around the district put on urea, and their crops have died or have had to be cut for hay." Client Mid North, SA, 23rd October 2008

Well, it has turned out just that way, much as in 2002, with only 8 and a half inches for the year so far." (Client, NE Wimmera, Victoria, 22nd September 2008)

" We have found your weather forecasts a big help this year especially, as you forwarned us of a tough year up here and we made the appropriate arrangements, such as de-stocking and agistment of sheep. It is the worst year here in 58 years and it is a big help to be forewarned and to plan ahead of the weather." (Client, North Riverina, New South Wales: 28th August 2008)
