Weather Stations and Soil moisture deficite monitoring

I am looking to buy two weather stations to monitor Temperature, pressure, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction, solar radiation and UV levels and soil moisture and temperature. Ideally these need to be independent stations that can be deployed in a block of land away from the office. What systems are available and does anyone have experience with them?

Further to this I am looking for a soil moisture monitoring system to replace the neutron probe system which is no longer available in our area. It is important that this system can produce data in the form of a soil moisture deficit to aid irrigation decision making. Either handheld or fixed systems would be considered but cost not wanting to spend a fortune. There are between 15 and 20 sites a year which need monitoring.

We have two blocks of land a few miles apart one has significant coastal influence the other does not therefore the weather is very different
