Select the paddock to be measured, activate the “Start Reading” by touch screen, travel over the area to be measured and press “Stop reading”.
The results are then displayed and further selections, like choose to save can be made.
How does it work?
The APR takes multiple measurements of distances between pasture height and its sensor.
The average pasture measurement above ground is then displayed as height (cm) and Dry Matter (kg DM/ha); or DM available per animal for that paddock.
Results for all paddocks can be saved and later retrieved.
