In 1928 the Department of Finnish Plant Breeding from Tikkurila and in 1957 the observatory from Pasila were transferred to the Jokioinen estate.

[citation needed] Jokioinen has a humid continental climate of the warm-summer type (Köppen: Dfb),[5] typical of the South Finnish fringe.

[6] In the past it falls to the continental subarctic zone (Dfc, based in old data) with only 3 months above 10 °C.

[7][8] The conditions are similar to Tampere, although it is more than 70 km to the north which shows influence of the urbanization in the climate.

[9] Employment structure of Jokioinen by trade at the end of 2004 was following: Services 64.9%, processing 23.3%, agriculture and forestry economics 9.6%.
