Ag Vise Aquires FieldWise’s Sacramento Valley Weather Network
To: FieldWise Sacramento Valley Weather Network Members
From: Carla Thomas, President, FieldWise, Inc.
After its 4th successful growing season, FieldWise, Inc. is announcing that it has sold the Sacramento Valley Weather Network to Ag Vise. During the 2003 growing season, FieldWise and Ag Vise teamed up to jointly operate the weather network and include soil moisture and irrigation consulting products. The pilot was a big success and has resulted in the acquisition of the weather network by Ag Vise.
We are certain that Jarald Davidson and Rich Sehorn will continue to provide a high level of service to the network and its customers as they expand its product offering to include weather station leasing and sales. For the most part, access to the weather network will continue on a subscription basis. If you would like to continue to access the weather network information, please contact Rich Sehorn at 530-518-2149 email rsehorn@irrigate.net or Jarald Davidson at 530-520-1645 e-mail jarald@msn.com Some of the new network’s expanded capabilities will include, 15 minute instead of hourly updates for weather data via the internet, data to mobile phones via Wireless Access Protocol.
The weather network will experience a break in service intermittently during October as it is reconfigured under the new management. Transfer of the network is expected to be completed by the end of October.
Fox Weather forecasts will be available by subscription directly from Fox Weather. You can contact Fox Weather at www.foxweather.com or www.foxweather2.com or foxweather@worldnet.att.com or foxweather@direcway.com or 805-469-1368. The 10-day ag forecast will continue to be available through Oct. 31st at www.fieldwise.com.
If you wish to reach me, Carla Thomas, you can speak to me at 530-304-0689 or carlathomas@fieldwise.com. I am becoming increasingly engaged in a Homeland Security project with the USDA and the University of California at Davis for biosecurity, but will still conduct consulting projects from time to time. We at FieldWise really appreciate the support you’ve given us over the years. We believe that Ag Vise has the talent needed to take the weather network to the next level in agricultural information services. Please patronize their services.
Sincerely,
Carla Thomas
