The AI panel would be more accurate if it very confidently gave some terrible advice.

this is what I got from ChatGPT:

To protect your farm from extreme heat, consider these steps:

  1. Provide Shade: Set up temporary shade structures for crops and animals.
  2. Mulching: Apply organic mulch around plants to retain moisture and cool the soil.
  3. Watering: Increase irrigation frequency during hotter periods to keep soil moisture consistent.
  4. Time Watering: Water plants early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation.
  5. Drip Irrigation: Install drip systems to target roots directly, minimizing water loss.
  6. Cover Crops: Plant cover crops to protect soil from direct sun exposure and prevent evaporation.
  7. Select Resilient Crops: Choose heat-resistant crop varieties suitable for your region.
  8. Soil Health: Maintain healthy soil with compost and organic matter to improve water retention.
  9. Windbreaks: Plant windbreaks like trees or shrubs to reduce heat and wind effects.
  10. Manage Livestock: Provide ample shade and access to water for animals, and adjust feeding schedules to cooler times.

Remember that local conditions can vary, so adapting these strategies to your specific situation is crucial.
