This webpage was developed in support of the NOAA/NWS/USDA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility (JAWF). The Mission of JAWF is to keep the Nation's growers, exporters, USDA commodity analysts, as well as the Secretary and top staff informed of worldwide weather developments and their effects on crops and livestock.

• NWS meteorologists provide global weather data, products, and expertise in interpretation of forecast models.
• USDA agricultural meteorologists merge the NWS information with climatological analyses and global agronomic data to arrive at the weather impact on agricultural production.
