Paddock history, open/close paddocks and welcome to the dark side...

Keep track of what's happened and when

📱Paddock history

  • See the complete history of a paddock including fertiliser and chemical applications, moves and pasture covers

  • Get a quick snapshot of what events happened in a specific paddock and when, so you know when another fertiliser or chemical application might be due

  • View paddock information, such as size, related blocks, irrigation and other features

  • See land, forage and soil type at a glance

  • Access paddock history by clicking on a paddock from the map or through the report centre

Paddock precision

📱Open and close paddocks

  • You can now mark a paddock as open or closed - super handy if you need to leave a paddock empty and don't want it's pasture to factor into available feed

  • Close a paddock for any reason, for example, if it is not currently grazable, if it is growing feed or crops, or if it's too bogged down with mud in the winter

  • If a paddock is closed, you can still enter pasture cover measurements for it, but that paddock will be excluded when you run a feed wedge

  • Open a paddock when it is ready to go back into rotation and be grazed again

  • There are no limits on how often a paddock can be closed or opened, and you can close as many paddocks as you need

Welcome to the dark side

📱Dark mode on mobile

If you use dark mode on your mobile, you might notice FarmIQ is black the next time you open it!

  • FarmIQ now works in dark mode, so if you have that mode turned on then FarmIQ will automatically go dark too

  • If you turn off dark mode, FarmIQ will automatically return to the white/light mode

  • Dark mode is useful for saving battery, it's gentler on the eyes, and it just looks pretty darn cool
