Farming Forecaster is a grazing management web tool developed by a consortium of NSW farm groups, Local Land Services and CSIRO. It uses data from local on-farm soil moisture probes and weather stations along with CSIRO’s farm simulation modelling tool Grass Gro to create real-time updates of pasture conditions and forecasts up to four months ahead. This tool provides beneficial data for managing stocking rates, preparing for climate variability, making decisions for potential costs, and organising supplementary feed requirements. It currently provides data in selected regions of NSW, Tasmania and Western Australia.#
This is a carefully curated database of important soil resources. The data base is not exhaustive but rather a library of the resources we believe are the most useful for the audience. Each resource has been added after careful consideration against our selection criteria, including but not limited to its scientific validity, accessibility, and readability. The library generally does not include most academic research papers but may include some open-source papers written in accessible English.

SSA reminds users that these resources are a guide only. Our understanding of soil science is improving continuously so it is important to check the suitability of the information for your purpose with an appropriately qualified professional such as a Registered Soil Professional or a Certified Professional Soil ScientistÂ
