Farmnote
New Zealand
Farmote is a digital solution which combines data from satellites in space and Motes on the ground, provides precise daily pasture measurements and invaluable insights through a mobile-friendly web platform. It works by collecting data from remote monitoring devices called ‘Motes’ installed at selected locations throughout farmers paddocks. The sensors contained within the Motes capture pasture measurements and soil conditions that are cross-referenced with multispectral images taken by satellites, and then uploaded to Farmnote's website. The pasture growth data collected daily, using accurate remote monitoring devices in paddocks, with multispectral images taken by satellites.
