Hi Tech Fact:
Using more than a century of climate data, some scientists believe they can develop computer software that will let them produce seasonal weather forecasts in the future. The information would help farmers make planting decisions in the spring and summer as well as manage production for crops in cold weather like winter wheat, citrus and winter produce.
