Field notes
The interface accepts farm type, district or coordinates, soil water capacity and irrigation status; dairy users can also enter platform area, cow numbers, feed demand and current cover for an end-of-week cover estimate. The page describes a three-month local-weather water balance and a gross-growth formula, then reduces gross growth to 82% for net growth. Its guidance recommends comparing estimates with a plate meter or farm walk.
