The US Climate Resiliency Toolkit online has a good web page describing some of the steps that farmers currently use to assess their weather and climate vulnerability and how they take measures to protect against risks to their operations.  It includes a five-step process to become more resilient in the face of unknown changes to your local weather and climate on short and long time scales.  You can read more about it at https://toolkit.climate.gov/case-studies/precise-soil-climate-and-weather-data-help-dairy-optimize-water-use.
