Ranches and pasture operations
Ranches treat pasture for weeds and pests and plan interventions for their animals, and both depend on the weather. A herbicide on pasture needs a dry window. A pest treatment for livestock may depend on recent rain. Each piece of work is a field operation recorded against the crop or the animal it concerns, with the planned quantity and unit.
How Weather Station / Advisory is set up for you
Pasture treatments
Plan herbicide and pest treatments by paddock and check the station rainfall against the product's threshold.
Animal interventions
Record the animal group in the crop or animal field and keep the planned quantity in the agreed unit.
Evidence on file
Record what was applied and attach the treatment log, with the grower-facing copy marked Shared.

Pilot one ranch and one treatment season. Load the ranch as a client farm, the stations nearest each paddock and the team members who plan and carry out the work. Run every treatment through planning, review where needed, observation and completion. Compare the completed operations with the ranch's treatment records before adding more ranches.
