Grass measuring & management system
Easy grass measuring with auto upload
Grasshopper is the most accurate grass cover measurement system available on the market today. It works on the principle of measuring compressed sward height with millimetre accuracy, and you keep full control over the moment each measure is taken — eliminating the angular drop problems experienced with other methods.

±25 kg DM/ha, validated
Grasshopper is the most accurate grass cover measurement system available on the market today. Developed and validated with the Moorepark Grassland Research Centre over three years.
Cover to wedge, instantly
Covers become a wedge the moment the walk is saved: demand line, average cover, surplus and deficit, all recalculated as you go.
Maps that match the ground
GPS paddock identification and colourised cover maps. Draw the farm once in the map editor, then split, merge and reseed as it changes, with the history kept.
Derogation, on the record
The 20 measurements a year a derogation asks for, recorded and dated with the report available straight from your dashboard when you need it.

What our clients think
“At 56 years old and poor with technology generally, I find the Grasshopper very easy to use, and the confidence it's given me to make grass management decisions at a way earlier point than I used to. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve decision making around grass.”
“We've been using the system religiously for 4 years now and I would be completely lost now without it. I often wonder how I managed before I got it and started grass measuring.”
“The Grasshopper gives me the ability to be on top of the grazing management throughout the year. As we are a dry farm and burn up quickly, I find the Grasshopper system super at I seeing deficit coming 2 weeks ahead of what we normally would.”
“Grasshopper gives me great utilization of grass, great confidence in the grazing rotation with increased protein percentages in cows going into proper cover all the time.”
“We were using cut and weigh years ago to measure grass but found it way to slow, so ended up giving it up until we came across the Grasshopper at the ploughing match in 2018. It's part of the weekly routine every week now. The speed and ability for anyone of the family to go out and measure grass is a huge benefit to us as labour is very scarce during the weekdays. It's a job my wife and daughter love to do at the weekends.”
