Powerful and user-friendly climate tools for farmers in the Northeast
The Cornell Climate Smart Farming (CSF) online toolkit is designed to help farmers from the Northeast US improve their productivity and resiliency in the face of a changing climate. These decision support tools are used when making informed decisions about production systems based on location-specific climate data, weather forecasts, and future outlooks. All CSF tools allow for selection of multiple locations, at the field level, in order to receive the most local and relevant data.
Cornell CSF tools include:
- CSF Growing Degree Day Calculator
- CSF Water Deficit Calculator
- CSF Winter Cover Crop Planting Scheduler
- CSF Climate Change in Your County
- CSF Apple Stage / Freeze Damage Probability
- CSF Grape Hardiness & Freeze Risk
- CSF New York State / Northeast Drought Atlas
Tools produced by other organizations, including NOAA and USDA, are also provided on the website as well.
