Pasture composition changes over time through grazing management and seasonal effects eg. dry seasons. To maintain productive and sustainable pastures a regular assessment of their composition should be conducted.

The Pasture Paramedic Tool, is a tool that assists farmers to assess pastures and make timely & clear decisions. Pasture Paramedic can indicate when farmers need to consider oversowing or resowing.
