What is the Australian Feedbase Monitor (AFM)?

The Australian Feedbase Monitor is an introductory level service that delivers moderate resolution (one hectare) satellite products and graphs at monthly intervals via a personalised online portal.

This tool might appeal to you if you want to:

  • Access a 'birds-eye-view' of your pasture biomass and ground cover at the property scale (updated every 5 days).
  • Track how your property-level feed supply is changing through the year.
  • Identify areas of your property with high levels of senesced biomass and ground cover for managing wildfire risk and prescribed burning programs.
  • Compare pasture biomass levels back to 2017.
  • Explore satellite assisted feed budgeting for free* before making a decision to invest in the PastureKey subscription service.
