FieldCast is a web-based agricultural weather workspace from GEMx LLC for growers and agronomists who want forecasts tied to specific fields. Saved field boundaries, crops, and planting details connect current conditions and hourly forecasts with an outlook of up to 35 days. The workspace also includes crop progress and growth-stage estimates, making it relevant to users who compare weather with seasonal crop development. Its field records and calendar provide a place to keep field details and review weather summaries over time.
The operation-specific comparisons are a central strength: users can compare field conditions for planting, spraying, fertilizer, tillage, harvest, and plant stress. Weather maps include radar, satellite, drought, precipitation, soil moisture, temperature, wind, and soil temperature layers. Field calendars add daily weather alongside monthly, year-to-date, and growing-season summaries; seasonal trends can be compared with 30-year averages. Daily and weekly email summaries are available for selected fields. This combination suits growers looking across multiple weather views and time scales, rather than buyers seeking only a basic forecast.
FieldCast is a paid, cloud-based product accessed on the web, with email support. Native iOS and Android apps are in development, so the current offering is centered on web access. Disease tools are described as coming soon, and disease alerts are not among the current capabilities. The forecast horizon also stops at 35 days, while seasonal comparisons provide a separate historical perspective. Growers who prioritize field-level forecasts, operational condition comparisons, mapping, and seasonal context should consider FieldCast; those who need current disease alerts or a native mobile app should look at alternatives.
