Pasture meter in action

The folding plate pasture meter is used for measuring the amount of pasture in your paddocks. The rising plate principle allows the meter to measure the average height of the pasture, allowing for any variations in pasture density. Readings can then be converted to an amount of Dry Matter (DM), ready for use in Feed Budgeting.
