The KestrelMet 6000 AG Weather Station: Helping Farmers Everywhere

Top Three Ways the KestrelMet Weather Station Helps Farmers

Discover how the KestrelMet® 6000 AG Weather Station helps farmers improve irrigation, pest management, and more.

The KestrelMet 6000 AG Weather Station delivers accurate field and soil measurements for improved irrigation efficiency, optimized fertilization and pest management timing, elevated environmental stewardship and achieving a better overall bottom line.

Improved Irrigation Management

As concerns rise over agricultural water availability and restrictions, the KestrelMet 6000 AG Weather Station helps farmers achieve enhanced results by providing local environmental and soil conditions data that can be used to support better irrigation management, resulting in more effective and efficient water use across their farms. It gives farmers with irrigation more control over their data so that they apply only the amount of water the crop needs and that the soil can hold.

More Effective Pest Management

Excessive irrigation can waste soil and fertilizer in water runoff, resulting in deep percolation and leaching of costly fertilizer and farm chemicals. At the same time, precise fertilization and pest management based on optimal application timing using moisture, wind and plant condition data can enhance results and help farmers protect their investment. The KestrelMet 6000 AG delivers the specific localized information you need to protect your crops from pests and disease.

“The KestrelMet 6000 AG Weather Station is easy to install and gives us access to real-time information from our orchard,” says New Hampshire farmer Doug Morin. “Within just a few weeks, it helped us make more informed decisions about when irrigation and pest management applications are needed. We love how easy the data is to access on either a phone or computer.”

Convenience & Lower Costs

Easily deployable, the KestrelMet 6000 AG arrives preassembled for fast setup and frustration-free installation. It also includes a low-cost cellular plan — with the first year free — to connect the station to the online monitoring dashboard or the app. The design of the KestrelMet 6000 AG, which is based on input from growers and agricultural specialists, makes it easy to use. Plus it offers the lowest total cost of ownership for a ruggedized cellular weather station.
