Almond plantation, Jocoli, Mendoza
We installed a METOS weather station in Jocolí, Mendoza on October 10th, 2006, to monitor conditions in our almond plantation. For 19 years, it transmitted and stored weather data every 15 minutes — building a database of over 5,375,000 data points. Our journey with METOS actually began in 1990, and their reliability has never let us down.

Fazenda Cachoeira – Family farm in Brazil
We have been using METOS weather stations for 14 years. We started with one station, and today we have four to get a better understanding of where the rain is. They allow us to plan our schedule in a very organized way, and we rely on them for everything – from irrigation to spraying and more.

Yehuda Glikman, Agrolan Ltd
In 2007, we built a network of 30 METOS stations with rain gauges for the National Water Authority. Eighteen years later, many of these stations are still fully operational and transmitting data – some even using their original Telit modems, predating Sierra Wireless!
METOS has proven to be a long-term partner in reliability and performance, delivering consistent data across nearly two decades.

EURASIA GROUP Kazakhstan LLC, Agrar School
“Аграрная Школа” (Agrar School) YouTube channel, which is done by AGROMANAGEMENT and Agrimarket prepared a video about our iMETOS 3.3 and iMETOS ECO D3 with Sentek sensor, described by them as a universal autonomous weather monitoring system. Beside unpacking both stations, they answer the question what weather station is, how the particular station is installed, etc.

ŁUKASZ CZARNOCKI, a fruit grower
Mr. Łukasz Czarnocki, a fruit grower from the vicinity of Siedlce, Poland, decided to place iMETOS stations in his orchard for accurate weather monitoring and optimal frost protection which he finds the most important aspect of the newly installed stations. He pointed out that having a weather station is a very convenient solution because during the treatments he can keep an eye on how the weather conditions change and can adapt the treatment to given circumstances.
KAROL HRYNIEWICKI, farmer
»I saw the station for the first time in one of the branches of the John Deere dealer of Fricke Agricultural Machines from Mrągowo. I am an enthusiast of all kinds of technical innovations related to precision farming and I also use other precision farming solutions provided by JOHN DEERE.«
Ewa Krasnodębska, Krasnodębski family farm
This device helps us in field observation and helps in early detection of pests. Thanks to this, we can step in with security at the right time,says Ewa Krasnodębska.
The weather station is an excellent tool in disputes with the insurance company, because it collects data on the occurrence of frost or hail,she concludes.
Andrzej Słomczewski, Director of the Plant Production Department at CGFP
CGFP Wojnowo has utilized three µMetos NB-IoT weather stations. Their installation not only enhances the precision of Hyper-Local weather forecasts but also enables comprehensive monitoring across various crops.
The modules function effectively and assist us in overseeing field operations. Having constant access on the phone or computer is a valuable support. It makes decision-making easier,”says Andrzej Słomczewski, Director of the Crop Production Department at CGFP.
Serbia
Agrounija, Serbia
We’ve been using METOS solutions for six seasons now, and they’ve become our main source of reliable data. The iMETOS and METOS ECO D3 stations solved our biggest issue: stable communication with sensors. For frost protection, having multiple stations across our 140-hectare orchard allows us to activate irrigation only where needed, significantly saving water. The disease model for Venturia inaequalis has also helped our agronomists make better treatment decisions. Overall, we’re very satisfied and would gladly recommend METOS to other producers,says Janko Potrebić, Chief of irrigation and frost protection sector.

Branko MAJERIČ, farmer & soil expert
Farming usually follows the logic ‘bigger is better’. Bigger farm – better cows – more milk. With crop growing it’s not like that because we are trying to look into what cannot be seen with a naked eye. Bigger field does not necessarily mean better produce. Better soil and smarter cultivation do. And crop growers, as the designated guardians of nature, don’t always pay enough attention to it.

PIETER WILLEM EKSTEEN, Bartho Eksteen Wine Estate
Hi there, I’m Pieter Willem Eksteen from the Bartho Eksteen Wine Estate. We have been a part of unique Climate Smart Agriculture project for roughly a year and we have been incredibly pleased and happy with the service and product that was provided to us. […] I would recommend it to any farmer that is in a pursuit of producing top quality grapes.
JOHAN STEPHAN, Stephan & Seun Potatoes
Hi there, my name is Johan Stephan and I’m a farmer at Stephen & Seun Potatoes here at the Sandveld Region of the Western Cape. Our main crop that we produce is potatoes and you can find our produce available at the market throughout the year. Behind me I have a Pessl weather station, supplied to us by METOS through the Eureka Climate Smart Agriculture project. […] We feel that the main advantage of having a weather station on the farm is the fact that you have access to accurate site-specific weather data… […] All in all, we’ve really enjoyed being part of the project and we feel that the partnership with METOS has added value to our business by helping us to use weather data to improve how we farm.

MARCOS ESTEVE PAMIAS, farmer
Currently I have the iMETOS 3.3 weather station, which has become indispensable in my day to day life. Mainly the functions that I use the most are the localized weather forecast and the ”spray window“ function. This last tool guarantees a full effectiveness of the herbicides applied, since their effectiveness has been reduced over the years, generating resistance in the weed. Likewise, the prediction of diseases, the wind or work planning are my main source for decision-making, by achieving a data accuracy of more than 98% compared to mobile time applications.

MURAD, agronomist of Fazenda LLC
We were excited to receive this video made by ФЕРМЕР.RU. They filmed feedback from Murad, the agronomist of Fazenda LLC in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, South of Russia. In his 2000 ha farm, he uses our iMETOS 3.3 – IMT300 version station with soil sensors, weather forecast, and disease model subscription. Mr. Murad presented and explained which sensors he uses, and how easy it is to get information and data from our cloud. He is particularly fond of the data that help him with irrigation management and planning.

Apple orchard in Samsun, Turkey
In our apple orchard in Samsun, Turkey, a METOS Compact station was installed back in 2002 — long before smartphones became part of everyday life. For 22 years, it reliably delivered weather data and supported our decisions through every season. As the next generation takes over, we’ve upgraded to the iMETOS 3.3, confident in continuing with a brand that has proven its value over decades. METOS stands for reliability, durability, and trust passed from one generation to the next.
dr. MURAT SALIH, farmer and electronic engineer
I am a full-time farmer and an electronic engineer. Our agricultural production farm is in the Central Safe Village of Kilis. I have been using the iMETOS system for 2.5 years. […] The iMETOS system has enabled us to make timely and correct decisions in many fields of agricultural production and changed the way we do business. These areas can be summarized as sowing, spraying, fertilizing and irrigation timing.
Mehmet Kiziltoprak, pomegranate grower
We choose METOS because it has big experience, big data, from all over the world. Every day when I woke up, I often open FieldClimate app and check the important things for my daily work plan.

CARL PITELEN, Group FarmSight and Optimisation Manager at Ben Burgess
I work for Ben Burgess, we are agricultural engineers, we’re based here in Norfolk; […] We use the (LoRa based) sensors, we’ve deployed them out in the field, the sensors are gathering rain and weather data where we then feed that information back to the landowner or the potato grower […] where he can monitor his crops, see what the weather he’s had for them and use it for soil moisture, to know how much irrigation he potentially needs to be giving to his crop or even using it for humidity for disease modeling and disease monitoring for crop protection. This technology presents a real opportunity to deliver to the customers a cost-effective decision support tool.
ALASTAIR HEATH, James Heath and Sons Ltd
With the live data from the probes we can see how much water is available in that field’s soil, and how fast the crop is using it. This helps us plan when to irrigate, how much water to put on, and how long it will last. […] Before we installed the stations we treated every field the same. Now, we know that we can have a 20mm difference in rainfall in fields only 2.5 miles apart and that our fields vary in how each crop responds to water uptake.
TIM DIXON, Farm Manager – Crown Point Estate Farms
The disease model is useful. We’re on a tight schedule to get around to all the fields so we tend to stick to a seven-day spray interval for blight, but we will use the disease model data to fine-tune our fungicide choice depending on risk level. The delta point information is helpful for spray timing. Although we can usually tell from the office how windy or not it is, the delta point gives us more detail on when is the best or worst time to spray.

JIM BRITTON, Britton Ag Consulting
My name is Jim Britton, my company is Britton Ag Consulting, I do irrigation consulting, weather monitoring, disease monitoring, insect monitoring with the product Pessl Instruments has. […] I got involved with the distribution of Pessl instruments through another gentleman who was working for them before and I just like their platform and their dashboard a lot better and it was a good selling point, too, because the farmers could see exactly what was going on with their crop and know if it needed the water or not.
ART WOMACK, citrus grower
Hello, my name is Art Womack, I’m a citrus grower in Hardee County, Florida. And this is my Grove and this is my wonderful weather station so I know how much and when to water my orange grove. […] We water far less at certain times of the year so we save money on diesel fuel, save money on fertilizers, we don’t push the fertilizer through soil so rapidly that it gets past the roots and doesn’t get absorbed.
CODY ESTES, President at Estes Citrus Inc
The FieldClimate platform has made monitoring our weather and soil moisture information a breeze. The equipment has been reliable and accurate.
