This is enough to fill approximately 30,000 boots with rain!

This is the highest temperature recorded by our weather stations in the UK in 2020. For comparison, the average temperature during the month of July in Death Valley in the US is 40°C. Not exactly the best place for growing potatoes…
In total, 5,400 farmers use this function on their Sencrop app, which comes out to an average of three alerts set up per farmer in 2020 — factors, such as frost, leaching, and so on, that need to be anticipated in order to react in time!
After a particularly dry summer, the rain returned in force. There was nothing else to do but perform a rain dance… and of course, use the Sencrop app to follow the development of the weather conditions!
