Summary
The aim of this project was to demonstrate to at least 200 farmers that the adoption of Realtime Biomass assessment using hand-held optical sensors combined with the FOO App can improve on-farm productivity and profitability through better grazing management and pasture utilisation. Targeting for 50 farmers to adopt the use of this technology by 2019.
Following a go/no go discussion, after 12 months of activity on the project, MLA and the service provided agreed that the project cannot deliver on the original objectives given that the application intended to be demonstrated is not available commercially and is no longer supported(from a maintenance perspective).
