Grazing Residual Option

When you enter the pasture covers and the paddock has been grazed since the last farm walk, enter the date of grazing and residual, then Pasture Coach will calculate the grass growth rate. This improves the accuracy of the grass growth rate.

Blocks

Pasture Coach allows blocks of paddocks. Assign a paddock to a block, give the block a name, then see it at a glance in the Feed Wedge.

Paddock Growth Report

As you develop your records several reports allow you to track progress. The Paddock Growth Report by Year is a new option that helps to identify the good and bad producers - which paddock produces the most dry matter.

New features in version 5.0

  • Manage multiple farms with a new and improved file management system.

  • Advanced feed wedge predictor - predict for four intervals ahead and see the feed wedge progress over time. This could give a weekly view of the feed wedge covering a month.

  • How much silage? - use the conservation tool. This will suggest a maximum area to be shut. Specify your paddocks and your management scenario, now Pasture Coach will present the outcome as four consecutive feed wedges with paddocks shut, cut and returning into the wedge.
