1. Proximal Sensing Tools to Estimate Pasture Quality Parameters.To date systems for estimating pasture quality have relied on destructive sampling with measurement completed in a laboratory which was very time consuming and expensive. Results were often not received until after the pasture was grazed which defeated the point of the measurement, as farmers required the information to make decisions about grazing strategies to effectively...

2. Estimating Spatial Variation In Annual Pasture YieldYield mapping is an essential tool for precision management of arable crops. Crop yields can be measured once, at harvest, automatically by the harvesting machinery, and be used to inform a wide range of activities. However yield mapping has had minimal adoption by pastoral farmers. Yield mapping is also a potentially valuable tool for precision management of pastures. However it is difficult to practically map yields on pastures, as they... S.J. Dennis, W. Clarke-hill, A. Taylor, R. Dynes, K. O'neill, T. Jowett |
3. Through the Grass Ceiling: Using Multiple Data Sources on Intra-Field Variability to Reset Expectations of Pasture Production and Farm ProfitabilityIntra-field variability has received much attention in arable and horticultural contexts. It has resulted in increased profitability as well as reduced environmental footprint. However, in a pastoral context, the value of understanding intra-field variability has not been widely appreciated. In this programme, we used available technologies to develop multiple data layers on multiple fields within a dairy farm. This farm was selected as it was already performing at a high level, with well-developed... W. King, R. Dynes, S. Laurenson, S. Zydenbos, R. Macauliffe, A. Taylor, M. Manning, A. Roberts, M. White |
