SWROC joins the Minnesota Ag Weather Network
Regular visitors to the Southwest Research and Outreach Center (SWROC) website may notice a new look to the reported weather data. In September, the SWROC joined several other ROCs partnering with the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) to join and collect data for the Minnesota Ag Weather Network (MAWN). This project upgrades the ROCs’ current weather stations with advanced technology that is standardized across the MDA’s network and provides current weather updates every 15 minutes.
