Making Grass Measuring Easier: 3 Advantages to New Pasture and Paddock Measurements Tools
You can draw a direct line from well-maintained pastures to healthy and heavy cattle. Careful maintenance requires more than just ensuring paddocks have nutritious grazing material available. It also means managing the growth rate, and adjusting where necessary, so your cattle always have prime pasture to use. The effects of overgrazing include both less nutritious feed for the cows and a higher likelihood of damaging the pasture's growth cycle, potentially rendering it unusable for a season.
With all that in mind, it is critical to employ the most reliable paddock measurement tools possible. In the past, this has been a tedious, time-consuming task that has often required more effort than seems necessary. Today, with more precise and powerful technology, our team at GPS-it has been able to transform standard grass measuring tools into a suite of software and hardware ready for the 21st century.
