Ever thought of having an all-in-one tool for your farm management needs?

You might be familiar with our farming mate, Jake, who we met in a recent blog

If you haven’t yet, here’s the scoop:

Jake, a dedicated farmer from Victoria, shared a common frustration: “My biggest pain point? Getting my staff to put tools back in the right spot.” While we can’t ensure Jake’s workers put tools back, we can make managing your farm a whole lot easier.

At Pasture.io, we’ve listened to your feedback and developed new solutions to tackle many of your daily management challenges. That’s why we're excited to announce significant updates to enhance your farming operations.

Starting August 1st, our app will transition to a subscription model, ensuring you receive continuous improvements and unparalleled value. We’re introducing two new satellite add-ons: Essential and Ultimate. Essential offers cost-effective imagery with fewer revisits, while Ultimate provides high-resolution images with near-daily updates. Unlike physical tools, the Pasture.io app is always at your fingertips, ready to streamline your farm management and save you time.

In short? You aren’t alone. Farmers worldwide are benefiting from our ‘Swiss Army knife’ of farm management software – always in your pocket and never misplaced.

Moving to a Subscription Model

We're shifting from a freemium app to a paid subscription model. This move aligns us with other farm management apps and highlights the value of all we offer. The new paid app plan is called Fundamental, and it comes with our base features designed to streamline your farm management.

What’s included in Pasture.io’s Fundamental paid plan? 

Here are some key features of the Fundamental plan that will underpin your farm management:

  • Task Management: Easily assign tasks, set due dates, and monitor progress – all from one place, keeping track of your farm staff.

  • User Access and Permissions: Invite your team, set roles, and collaborate seamlessly with farm staff, contractors, consultants, and those important to your farm.

  • Enhanced Reporting: Customise reports and track activities like never before so you can determine paddock performance, see what and where you’ve applied fertiliser, see when you last renovated a paddock, and much more.

  • Real-time Updates: Always have the latest data at your fingertips with secure cloud-based farm record keeping and activity tracking.

  • Feed Inventory: Manage your feed supply efficiently and predict depletion dates, with the feature to soon incorporate feed fed out on the feed pad or in the paddock.

  • Virtual Fencing: Precisely set and calculate areas for fencing, improving communication with your team and always nailing that perfect break fence.

  • Pio chats: Our AI Farm Consultant is ready to assist with your queries, making farm management smarter and easier. Go on, ask Pio a question and see what ideas it gives to assist in your management decisions! (And let us know in the comments below)

These are just a few of the features designed to make your farm management more efficient and effective, saving you time and effort.

To continue providing these valuable tools and support ongoing innovation, we’re transitioning to a subscription model. Starting August 1st, you can subscribe to our Fundamental plan for just $1,099 per year or $126 per month, ensuring you always have the best tools at your disposal.

Additionally, we’re introducing two satellite add-on tiers: Essential, offering lower-resolution imagery with fewer revisits, and Ultimate, providing high-resolution images with near-daily updates for unparalleled pasture insights—perfect for locations susceptible to cloud conditions and fog.

Why Do Satellites Equal Better Farm Results?

In case you’re new to this, here’s how:

Timely Data: Regular satellite flyovers provide up-to-date information on pasture conditions, aiding timely decisions on grazing, irrigation, and fertilisation.

Comprehensive Coverage: Satellites can cover vast areas quickly and consistently, ensuring no part of your pasture is overlooked.

Precision Management: High-resolution images help pinpoint specific areas needing attention, allowing precise management of issues like overgrazing or poor soil health.

Historical Data: Satellites offer a historical record of your pastures, enabling you to track changes and trends over time for better-informed decisions.
