Farmers are warned to be aware of the risk of exposing young sheep to the common weed, lesser loosestrife (Lythrum hyssopifoli). After the flooding across Victoria conditions are good for this weed – so keep an eye out. For more info go to https://t.co/Dsg3zdPeQ3 @PyreneesShire

The new & expanded 2023 Forage Value Index tables help you make better-informed decisions when selecting ryegrass cultivars. These tables use industry-supported Pasture Trials Network data to rank ryegrass cultivars according to profitability. Download ➡️ https://t.co/8tWwZVJi5X

[DataFarming @data_farming]

When using the DataFarming platform make sure you check for cloud or shaddow before getting NDVI as it will affect readings significantly. Click the cloud icon on each date and it displays true colour image.

[DataFarming @data_farming]

At @data_farming we have released our STACK tool. You should see it pop up when you log on. It allows you to STACK 5 years of satellite #NDVI data together to get long-term productivity zones, which you can then export out as a prescription shapefile. Only $0.60/ha. Check it out!
