I Find Climate to be wrong about 90% of the time usually under estimates totals
I'll be the odd man out, but Fieldview has gotten much better over the years. When it first came out it was a joke. However over the years it seems to get better. I have found they alter their initial estimates after about 12 hours. People don't realize how rainfall totals can differ over a 160 acre field. A good quality weather station is the best, but I am not buying one for every farm and then paying for cellular data. After all it's information you have zero control over. If the online estimates can get you within 20% I would call that a win because the reality is a fields rainfall can easily vary 20% from one side to the other.
