WEATHER FORECAST

Several Henry Countians are now on what is known as Broadband, or hi speed internet. Compared to dial up internet, there is really no comparison. It will allow you to get information quickly, without the hassle of sitting and waiting for a page to download.

Having said that, one of the true helps for farmers and gardeners will be a weather forecast that is specific to your location. It is called Point Source Weather Information. Here is how to get your Farm Level Forecast.

Go online to http://wwwagwx.ca.uky.edu/ and click on Agricultural Point Forecast for the U. S. Click on the map to begin your farm level forecast (or use the option of entering your zip code). A click on Kentucky automatically goes to Lexington, so just zoom back out to find Henry County, then zoom back in to find your farm. Click when you find your farm to mark it, then click on the latitude and longitude. Select Eastern Standard time zone, and click submit, and the Seven Day Forecast for your farm should appear. By bookmarking this, you can get virtually instant hourly forecasts, every time you look at your computer.
