New Graphing Software
We have released new software for our graphs that uses a format called Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). This adds new functions to the way you can view
the data and also means the graphs will look much sharper on smartphones and tablets. If you need help with the new functions click on the Graph Help
tab above the graphs to watch a two minute tutorial video.
If you have an old web browser like Internet Explorer 8 or earlier you will not be able to use the new graphs and will instead be directed to the old graphs. Please consider updating to a newer browser. You can click here to download Google Chrome for free and take full advantage of the improvements.
Acclima TDT Soil Sensor
A new soil moisture probe is now available - the Acclima TDT digital soil sensor. This sensor is especially good for dairy farms as it
compensates for the effects of fertiliser and effluent.
