Why US farmers use it
Management-intensive grazing depends on knowing how much forage is in each paddock before you move stock. Pasture sticks and plate meters work, but they slow the walk and give no quality information.
Pasture Ai lets you assess a paddock from the seat or the gate in seconds. Every assessment is stored with the date and location, building a record you can look back over across the season.
The Farm Walk plan produces a grazing wedge and daily growth rate, plus a PDF you can share with a grazing consultant or an NRCS planner.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work on warm-season grasses?
Yes. Bermudagrass, bahiagrass and native warm-season stands are assessed from the photo the same way as cool-season pasture, and self-calibration is available to tighten results for your own fields.
Does Pasture Ai work on US farms?
Yes. Pasture Ai works anywhere you have a phone. The model reads sward height, density, colour and structure from the photo itself, so it is not tied to one country's pasture type.
Do I need a plate meter or any hardware?
No. A smartphone is the only device required. There is no plate meter, no C-Dax, no sensors and no calibration equipment to buy or maintain.
What does it measure?
Pasture cover in kgDM/ha, plus DM%, CP% (protein), MJME and NDF% for feed quality. Every assessment is saved against the paddock with the date and location.
Can I do a whole farm walk?
Yes. Assess each paddock in turn and the Farm Walk plan builds a feed wedge, calculates daily pasture growth rate in kgDM/ha/day and produces a PDF report.
