Pasture.io Launches Mt Hayes, Improving Pasture Growth Predictions by 28%
New model delivers stronger short-term forecasts to support grazing and feed decisions
Pasture.io launches Mt Hayes, its latest pasture growth model update, delivering around a 28% improvement in overall growth predictions. The update is designed to give farmers and ranchers a clearer, more reliable view of pasture growth, helping them plan grazing, rotations, and feed decisions with greater confidence.
Mt Hayes builds on previous model improvements and represents the biggest step forward in Pasture.io’s pasture growth forecasting.
Key improvements
- 28% improvement in overall pasture growth predictions vs previous model
- Improved performance across both dryland and irrigated systems
- More farm-specific forecasts using historical pasture data
- Stronger 14-day forecasts for growth rate and leaf emergence
- Smoother seasonal growth trends for more consistent decision-making
- Improved soil moisture awareness
Why it matters
Pasture growth can vary quickly depending on weather, soil moisture, and management. This model update provides a clearer picture of what’s ahead, helping farmers:
- Plan grazing moves earlier
- Adjust rotations with confidence as conditions change
- Make better day-to-day feed decisions
The result is a more consistent and reliable view of pasture growth across the farm.
Company perspective
“Mt Hayes is our biggest step forward in pasture growth forecasting,” said Ollie Roberts, Founder of Pasture.io. “The goal is simple—to give farmers a clearer, more reliable picture of what’s happening across their farm so they can make better decisions day to day.”
