The grass wedge has become the standard way to analyse the data produced on a weekly farm walk where paddocks are measured for available or total grass cover. Grass-hopper produces paddock covers and a grass wedge at the end of the weekly walk and also exports the collected paddock information to any external grass-management package. External management programmes such as PastureBase Ireland, Agrinet, Kingswood & FarmFlo have tool sets to help you to:
Target paddocks at the desired pre-grazing yield.

• Use Spring and Autumn rotation planners.
• Select paddocks to remove as surplus silage.
• Identify poorly performing paddocks and take corrective action.
• Good management leads to improved grass utilisation and the option to carry more stock on the same grazing platform. Grasshopper can help get you there.

Accurate Grass Covers:
Grasshopper is the most accurate grass-cover measurement system available on the market in Ireland today.

Grasshopper was developed and validated over a three-year period by True North Technologies of Shannon and Teagasc at the Moorepark Grassland Research Station in Fermoy, Co. Cork. The Grasshopper algorithm used to calculate grass covers has been adjusted over three growing seasons during which more than 4000 cuts were taken, weighed and processed at the Moorepark laboratories.
