CropWindowThis week

Boom spray — herbicide

Thursday

12pm–6pm

Hold off

Why
  • Wind: forecast above your 20 km/h maximum.
  • Delta T: borderline against your minimum.

A real engine answer for Humevale VIC, captured 2026-08-21.

Weather apps hand you the forecast.
The judgement is still your job.

Four apps, a rain radar and a gut feel every morning — and the spray window still slips past. CropWindow does the operator's sums continuously: every job's limits, against every forecast hour, with an honest confidence call. The weather is the input. The answer is the product.

Try it now — no app needed

What's the call for your place this week?

Template limits shown are sensible defaults from published GRDC/BoM guidance — in the app, every threshold is yours to set. Stubble burning windows are guidance only: always check fire restrictions and your permit first.

How it works

Three steps between you and a straight answer

Drop the pin

The forecast is fetched for your pin, not your postcode — the actual ground you work.

Pick the jobs

Twenty templates from boom spraying to fencing, each carrying the thresholds that matter — wind bands, Delta T, dry hours, soil moisture. Every number editable to your operation.

Get the day

Best window per job, red, amber or green confidence, and a tap-open "why" with every reason. If the forecast turns, it tells you before you've hooked up.

Job coverage

If the weather decides it, CropWindow watches it

  • Spraying — herbicide, insecticide, fungicide: wind band, Delta T, rainfast, inversion risk
  • Hay & silage — the dry-day run from cutting to baling, dew and curing weather
  • Sowing & harvest — soil moisture, trafficability, harvest dry spells
  • Spreading — urea ahead of rain, lime and gypsum in workable winds
  • Stock & ground work — shearing, muck spreading, fencing, earthworks
  • The risky ones — stubble burning and frost-sensitive planting, treated conservatively

"I built CropWindow because I was sick of checking four apps before breakfast and still missing the window. It runs on our farm at Humevale first — if it's wrong here, I hear about it at dinner."

Fair questions

Asked and answered

Is CropWindow a weather app?

No — it's a decision tool. Weather apps hand you the forecast and leave the judgement to you. CropWindow holds each job's own limits against the hour-by-hour forecast and gives you the answer: the right day, a red, amber or green confidence call, and the reasons why.

What jobs does it cover?

Twenty template jobs and counting: boom spraying (herbicide, insecticide, fungicide), hay and silage, sowing, harvest, urea and lime spreading, muck spreading, shearing, stubble burning, frost-sensitive planting, irrigation, fencing and earthworks and more. Every threshold is editable — your limits, not ours.

What does it cost?

Free while in early access. The planned pricing is $15/month for a farm, $50/month for contractors, and a $100/month commercial tier later — but nobody pays a cent until CropWindow has earned it.

Does it work on my phone?

Android now — a direct download from this site, installed in about two minutes. iOS is on the list; leave your email on the download page and you'll hear when it lands.

Where does the weather data come from?

Forecast data comes from the Open-Meteo model suite over your actual paddock coordinates, and the agronomy thresholds are built on published GRDC and Bureau of Meteorology guidance. On the home farm it also reads a physical weather station — and the app always shows you why it decided, so you can check its working.

Can I trust it with a spray job?

CropWindow gives you the same numbers a careful operator would work out by hand — Delta T, wind bands, rainfast windows — continuously, for every job at once. But it's guidance, not a guarantee: the label is the law, and you make the final call in the paddock.

Stop guessing the weather. Start working it.

Free in early access. Two minutes to install. Your first straight answer before the kettle's boiled.
