  1. Clyde W. Fraisse Climate Extension Specialist Agric. & Biol. Engineering – IFAS University of Florida SECC Extension Team AgClimate: Web-based Climate Information & Decision Aid Tools

  2. Fresh Tomato South FL Climate Variability Impacts • Crop Yield (winter vegetables, corn, peanut, soybean, citrus) • Pasture • Freezes • Forest fires • Hurricane activity

  3. Variety Planting Date Plant Population Soils Applied Climate & Crop Modeling Research

  4. So what? How to “translate” this research and information into practical applications? SECC Climate Extension Program

  5. Decision Making in Agriculture Climate Forecast Strategic Decisions • Variety selection • Planting Dates • Acreage allocation • Crop insurance coverage • Marketing • Purchase inputs • Weather Forecast • Operational decisions • Planting • Spray • Fertilize • Irrigation • Harvest

  6. SECC Extension Main Goal • To develop a climate information system for the SE USA in which climate forecasts and information together with DSS for agriculture, forestry and water resource management are made available to reduce risks associated with climate variability.
