Rising Plate meter
This is a farm management tool that farmers use to quantify pasture cover on a farm. It is one of the tools that is used to help allocate pasture to stock. If you do it pre and post grazing measurements this ensures that the pasture has been grazed enough and or the stock are getting enough food. Basically the plate meter measures the compressed height of the grass and using an equation (which has been calibrated) converts the grass height into kg DM (kilograms dry matter)
