Ag360 is a free predictive tool for Australian livestock producers, helping you record the past and predict the future for your grazing business.
This app is a simple way to get started with Ag360. Just add a rain gauge to record rainfall, and you will receive a seasonal rainfall forecast for your property’s specific location. Working with data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Ag360 provides access to weather forecasts to within 3.5km of your property 6 months from today.
This app can be used on its own, but is designed to work with Ag360.com.au, our feature rich web-based application. Future app updates will introduce more of the functionality of the website (Ag360.com.au), including being able to record your livestock management activities, conveniently from the paddock or yards.
Online at Ag360.com.au, the full version of the software provides:
- rainfall predictions up to 6 months in advance updated daily
- easy farm mapping and record keeping
- pasture availability predictions
- sheep and cattle growth and condition score predictions
- assessment of supplementary feed requirements
- animal health and welfare risk alerts
- compare historic rainfall forecasts with on-farm observations.
These predictions are based on powerful, accurate scientific models that draw on all the expertise at the University of New England (Australia).
Customised to your location, Ag360 is easy to set up and use, and support is available for account set up and data interpretation.
