How weather becomes a farming decision: a frost-date forecast that sets a planting window, a growing-degree-day tally that predicts a harvest date, a rainfall record that sizes an irrigation system. The field sits across meteorology, hydrology and crop science, tracking the soil-plant-atmosphere system that decides whether a season's weather becomes a crop or a loss; predicting seasonal rains and floods mattered to the earliest agricultural settlements long before the discipline had a name.
