well, luckily I didn't have to model it out or develop a decision making tool. I could just stay in my lane of production considerations and direct people to more detailed resources on whatever practices would be relevant.

more or less my overall role was in resource navigation and development, like reference materials. my little "long range outlook" articles were something I just did as a quick thing. I got pretty good at reading national long range forecasts, parsing the relevant info for our tend-to-be-ignored area and tailoring it to the plain language of seasonal agricultural efforts. ex. "this April is almost certainly going to be wetter than the 10 year average, so finding the time for field tillage may be more difficult this spring than usual" or like how it might affect certain disease/pest pressures for certain crops.

basically, a quick summary with links to more detail, but just enough to put the thought in the head of what the story looks like next month.
