Agricultural,irrigation weather stations.?

If anyone owns a plantation, crop canopy, even a veggie garden, do you use a weather station or weather device to record valuable data vital to the health of your plants? Like irrigation controllers, ET (evapotranspiration) controllers, greenhouse controllers, growing season forecasters, crop stress, etc. Even a simple home weather station will count. If so please tell my how you have set it up. The reason I ask is, next spring I plan to set up a weather station in my veggie garden, to act as a thermostat/growing season tool. So your input will be very important to me. 10 pts to best reply!
No dumb or unnessisary answers please.

Go to radio shack and get one. Build a weather cover for it and follow the instructions that come with it. Remember to learn meteorology and keep learning. Good luck.
