What people are saying

AMA has helped farmers and agribusiness owners across Australia. These are just some of them. 

“I have followed David's forecasting for 21 years. The first 6 years for WA were amazingly accurate, then his predictions became perhaps 30% less reliable, but still much more reliable than anyone else in the game, and by a long way.”


— Bill Crabtree (Min Till Bill) Ex-farmer Morawa WA, Ag Consultant

“We find AMA’s services 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.”


— Larissa Taylor, CEO, Grain Industry Association of WA, December 2020


“I've used AMA’s forecasts for years.


I've used AMA’s forecasts for years and have always found the information to be professional with credible scientific reasoning. It's very useful in making farming decisions in northern Victoria. It's great to have a long-range forecast to help make difficult, and often expensive, choices. I'm happy to recommend his work and will continue to use it into the future.”


— Craig Reynolds, Congupna VIC, 2021

“In 2019 I put more barley in (yielded 1.5 t/ha) and less wheat (yielded 1 t/ha) — the forecast paid for itself”


— James Madden, Narrendera NSW

“AMA gives me confidence.


AMA's analogue years are very useful as I compare them to historical rainfall data that goes back to 1907. It gives me confidence to put a crop in the ground knowing that rainfall events will come.”


— Tom Brown, Esperance WA , 2021

David's weather forecasts takes one less gamble out of the equation when you are investing millions to put a crop in the ground. His forecasts stack the odds your way



— Phil Patterson, Katanning WA (4 Farmers)

“I saved a six-figure number by being conservative in 2019 based on your forecast.”


— Ian Shadbolt, Mukinbudin WA 

“We saved $50,000 in 2019 by sowing less.”


— David Shackleford, Orroroo SA
