Say NO to rising plate meters and use automatic (satellite) Pasture.io measurements today.
Rising plate meters are best left in the corner of your shed gathering cobwebs and dust! Let's face it, these tools have had their time and now it is time to move on over.
Introducing Automatic (Satellite) Pasture.io Measurements!
The labour free, hassle-free, and newest way to measure your pastures day in day out.
You've heard it all before and it is true, farmers all over the world are faced with labour shortages and rising costs with more people living in urban centres there is a disconnect between farmers and consumers.
Studies show that most consumers had no idea how much work goes into producing their food and from growing the crops to raising the animals for red meat, wool or milk production.
Crazy enough.
Many Farmers on the ground are disconnected from farming due to the sheer work that goes into managing each day and not to mention the lost opportunity of not making greater farm profit. And all because, farmers work late, they miss family dinners and are out fixing things during the kid’s birthday.
I’m here to say, no more missed birthdays or evening meals and let’s get smart.
In this video we’ll discuss how using rising plate meters is in the past.
It's done and dusted; pasture plate meters are no longer required to measure pasture on your farm now that automatic satellite pasture measurements have improved with technology and advances in modelling.
Remote pasture measuring is a new agtech it is the future of farming and the future of measuring pasture and improving your grazing management.
Let's get right into the pain points of using a rising plate meter or even relying on a rising plate meter.
I’m going to walk through some examples that I’m sure will resonate with you. Here is a taste of the topics we'll touch on:
1. inconsistent pasture measurement readings
2. constant rising plate meter cleaning required
3. dirty sensor on C-Dax
4. operator bias when using a rising plate meter
5. reactive management due to out of date pasture growth rates
6. variance in readings with rising plate meters is higher than Pasture.io's labour free measurement service
7. upgrade for accuracy if you're still stuck on your "accurate" eyeball method
8. pugged paddocks cause measurement inconsistency
9. seasonal calibration requirements are never completed
10. tall pasture swards and perhaps should be silaged anyway
11. lack of time, heck, who has time to farm these days?
12. representation of the measurements
13. spatial measurements with satellites that scan the entire paddock for pasture covers and growth rates
What you can get with Pasture.io's satellite pasture measurement:
1. zero labour measurements that turn up to work
2. zero hardware requirements meaning no more maintenance or replacement costs or personnel training.
3. revolutionary agtech that is continually enhanced and updated with no additional cost
4. automatic pasture measurements, did someone say it just happens?
5. considers local climate conditions and no seasonal calibrations required
