Using the Rising Plate Meter
The Rising Plate Meter (RPM) is a farm management tool that is used throughout New Zealand pastoral farming to measure perennial ryegrass/white clover swards.
The benefits of the RPM include being able to quantify pasture on farm (average pasture cover); correctly and consistently target a consistent pasture height and it is a tool that almost anybody can use.
