WINS - crop stress Weather INformation delivery System

About

WINS is an R-package constructed as a part of GovHack 2016.

The WINS project (formerly called John_Conner) was initiated by the Toowoomba Trio to tackle a major and growing problem faced by Queensland vegetable growers. This challenge is identifying and responding to heat stress in their crops. High temperatures can cause considerable stress to crops, reducing yields and the quality of the produce grown. However, if the stress is identified early enough remedial action can be taken to minimise the damage and save the crop. WINS provides a timely warning system for farmers when a heat stress event has likely occurred. The WINS project is built in the R environment, an open source statistical programing environment and utilises Australia Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) weather data.

Please watch our YouTube video describing the John_Conner project for more on how WINS was created and works.
