Defaults: dairy pasture on each district's soil (Fundamental Soil Layers), not irrigated. Net growth is gross growth minus leaf that dies before grazing. Weather: ECMWF IFS analysis and forecast via Open-Meteo, refreshed every few hours. The model is weather-driven and has not yet been validated against measured growth, so treat the numbers as a guide and check them against your plate meter. For your own farm's location, soil and pasture, use the forecast tool.
