@plains203 my neighbouring farmer has joined the project now.

He showed me a quick google maps survey, there are more than 10 large paddocks, several geographically separated with the longest shot over 10km.

The benefit of this project will extend way beyond just weather monitoring, because the more any farmer can learn about crop conditions the better, and a continuous remote data logging solution will provide great value in this regard.

So all we need to do is solve the 10+km shot first !
