Key messages
  • 2007 was an unusual year and one in which playing the odds as they looked at the start and middle of the growing season did not pay off.
  • When making decisions based on probability, be aware of the likelihood and consequences of downside risk.
  • Our climate is changing; climate science is moving away from forecast systems that rely on the past to predict the future and investing its efforts in improving general circulation models.
  • Yield Prophet in 2008 will be capable of simulating paddock-specific yields under climate change scenarios for 2030.
