Make better pasture and grazing management decisions by estimating pasture growth in relation to rainfall, soil moisture and other climatic conditions.

The site was developed for Meat and Livestock Australia as part of its ‘More Beef from Pastures’ package.

The website provides an outlook for up to 3 months into the future, for over 3,300 weather stations in southern Australia.

The tool accesses historical and current weather information recorded by the Bureau of Meteorology and adjusted by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines.

This allows you to build knowledge of the likely impact of climate on pasture growth for the next three months.
