Summary

This is a continuation of B.COM.0288. The Bureau of Rural Science (BRS) has been maintaining the MLA Spatial Toolset site since the release of the site in October 2005 for More Beef from Pastures.  This contract extended this arrangement for the ongoing provision of the dynamic content of the MLA Spatial Toolset for the FY 2012/13. This covered the software and associated data needed to
1) select sites from an electronic map or list;
2) provide site descriptions (e.g. long term patterns of rainfall, soil moisture and growth potential);
3) provide rainfall, soil moisture and pasture growth potential for YTD and last 9 months (as graphics) and
4) provide tables and other statistical information.
