Grip on Grass

Registered grass height is transferred to dry matter yield in kg dm/ha. Default values in the formulas can be adjusted.

The Feedwedge plots actual dry matter yield from the fields selected for grazing, against required dry matter yield for grazing. Parameters as realised grass growth and expected grass growth are presented. Also rotation length and required dry matter yield as well as available dry matter are presented.

In the Mowing window actual dry matter yield and expected dm growth are plotted against target dry matter yield to plan the right moment for cutting.

Both graphs can be adjusted to fit on-farm management. Grip on Grass provides the functionality to select fields for use in the Feedwedge or Mow window during the grazing season. Fields can easily be exchanged between Feedwedge and Mow window so effect on grass availability for grazing is directly visible.

Instructional videos show how to work with Grip on grass. Links to information explaining how to work with the Feedwedge is also available.

Grip on Grass at Farmmaps is integrated with the Grassland Calendar and GrassSignal. Grass height and dry matter yield can also be registered in the Grassland Calendar. Registered grass height are used in GrassSignal to adjust the grass growth model. When GrassSignal is added to the account in Farmmaps, the in GrassSignal calculated grass growth is used in Grip on Grass.
