Use Pio pasture readings from satellite imagery, weather, farm records, and other inputs.
Add manual plate meter or farm walk readings whenever you want, or combine manual readings with Pio readings.
Grazing Planner
Plan grazing with a clearer view of feed supply, demand, and nutrition
Use your pasture readings, feed wedge, and farm records to plan upcoming grazings, balance feed supply with herd needs, and adjust the plan as conditions change.
Build grazing plans using pasture available, days in paddock, manual order, or a mix of methods.
Move paddocks into feed slots and adjust the plan as your feed position changes.
Review pasture, supplement, feed allocation, ration details, and daily totals alongside your grazing plan.
