Argentina founded the National Institute of Agricultural Meteorology on 16 April 1937. The institute studied weather patterns affecting crops, livestock, and soil conditions. Researchers produced seasonal forecasts to assist farmers with planting and harvesting decisions. Its reports improved national preparedness for droughts and frost events. The institute coordinated with agricultural schools to distribute climate information. Over time, it became a key component of rural planning. Its creation strengthened the connection between meteorology and agricultural productivity.
