Grazing Calculator is the brainchild of a dairy farmer, who wanted a fast and easy way for him and his workers to be able to do grazing related calculations. This app was designed and developed in collaboration with his sister, with input from other farmers and farm advisors.
Designed to be used out on the farm and on the go, this app makes it quick, easy and simple for anyone working on a farm - regardless of their level of experience and knowledge - to get the numbers they need, when they need them.
