Pasture Coach is pasture management software with an annual subscription and a data entry app. The data are stored in the cloud for easy sharing of data with staff members, partners and your support team.
Once a farm is setup with paddocks and paddock areas, regular pasture cover walks are entered. Calculated growth rates can be accepted or rejected if there is a long gap between readings.
Pasture growth rates and average pasture covers are reported in both table and graph form– this is all the basic pasture management stuff.
Pasture Coach goes beyond this and has tools to record individual paddock yields, annual pasture growth, graphs of pasture covers and graphs of average pasture growth rates.
Then there are a number of management tools that help the day to day decisions.
We get rave reviews on the Feed Wedge predictor tool and the rotation calculator becomes an everyday item to test thinking and plan.
Download Pasture Coach, setup your farm and enter two farm walks. No obligation to buy your annual license until you enter the third set of pasture cover data. More...
Once setup with paddock number/name and paddock sizes, the farm walks can be entered. Our clients regularly feedback how easy it is to find their way around the program and get data in. As pasture covers are entered the pasture growth rate of individual paddocks is calculated and the user decides if they will be included. Pasture Coach keeps every record and uses to determine how much every paddock grows. After the pasture walk has been entered the reports and tools are ready to use.
