Spring Grazing Management Made Easy

This modification of the Spring Rotation Planner allows staff to work out the grazing area for all the different mobs of on the farm over spring at a glance. It uses square metres per head as a measure of pasture allowance, so staff only have to know the number of cows in the mob to work out the grazing area.

This makes feed allocation faster and less complicated leading to fewer mistakes. Staff are able to get out on the farm and make decisions according to farm policy without having to refer back to the manager all the time. This allows the manager to get on with other tasks and gives the staff a sense of responsibility and ownership of the task.

The only cost is a bit of time to work out the numbers for your farm.
