About

Plan ahead

We can’t control the weather, but we can control how it impacts us.

AMA understands how significantly the weather can help or hinder farming and agribusiness. Through highly sophisticated and accurate data, we provide long range operational climate forecasts and crop monitoring everyday farmers and agribusiness owners can use to their advantage.

AMA utilises four major areas of modelling and analysis that have been developed over 20 years in the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia (DAFWA), and the Australian Export Grains Innovation Centre (AEGIC).

Climate forecasting

Plan ahead with climate forecasting that gives you a years’ lead-time through accurate seasonal predictions based on similar previous years.

Crop yield forecasting

Get national maps of soil moisture, yield rankings and potential yields based on seasonal forecasts or an average climate.

Productivity trends

See mapped trends (and trend-drivers) in crop yields and water use efficiencies across the Australian grainbelt.

Climate change analysis

Utilise keynote presentations on how the climate has changed since 2000, what has caused these changes, and how crop yields and trends have been affected.

We do the research so you don’t have to


Global scale El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) forecasts and regional climate forecasts are combined with an Australian crop modelling system to give integrated crop yield assessments. Measures of crop productivity and water use efficiency go hand in hand with climate change analysis and the collation of industry good datasets. Underpinned by strategic Agro-climatic modelling, AMA combines trends in climate variables, agronomic data, climate variability and technological advances. 


“AMA’s services are invaluable


As an industry organisation which monitors and reports on annual broadacre cropping production, and the impact of seasonal conditions in WA, we find AMA’s services invaluable. The fact that David has been meteorologically trained in our local broadacre production system makes a difference to the confidence with which we use his analysis, as does the fact that he has an intimate understanding of Indian Ocean climatic factors.”
