This project supports research being done by a company called Dairy Explorer. Dairy Explorer are developing the Pasture Mapper, a pasture measurement and mapping solution for Dairy Farms.
Pasture Mapper will objectively measure the on-farm dry matter growth and yield (biomass kg/ha) of ryegrass on a daily basis. The data will collected will support on farm decisions such as maximising grazing efficiency (thereby reducing wastage), optimising fertiliser use, optimising water use and increasing the input-output yield curve by reducing the grain feed requirements.
