Be ahead of the game with Pasture vibe
Pasture Vibe is the easiest way for farmers and consultants to predict pasture growth rate for any location in New Zealand.
Livestock decision making made easier
Pastoral farms have the potential to increase pasture productivity by well over 20% through better feed budgeting and pasture management. This presents the largest opportunity to improve profitability on most farms, and therefor, an incredibly important factor in determining highly profitable farms. Pasture Vibe gives you the power to achieve optimal performance.
Predicting and planning for pasture growth is difficult
Pasture growth profiles through the year are usually not known in precise terms without significant effort in measurement. Pasture Vibe solves this issue providing forecasts for your location for up to three months and comparing this with the last three years.
How is this possible?
Pasture growth is a complex response to the quality of soil and its fertility, the state of the pasture (the effect of existing pasture biomass), the level of soil moisture and the climate. We can access most of this information with no effort required from the farmer.
