    Kingswood here for years. find it simple enough to use. Not much difference between any of them I think. Only as good as the info you put in.

    What kind of cost are either of them? Would you say grassland management is number 1 reason for using?

    How easy is agrinet to use? And problems with it? Looked to me the simpler system. How is their tech support? Do you have to do much to set it up?

    Teagasc brought out a grass program this year.
    Can do a wedge, and record all field info. It is free. Need to be set up on it, info below if anyone interested.

    I need the some information from you before I can set you up on the system.


    Farm address
    phone number
    Teagasc client number (if you have one)
    Herd number
    Herd identifier (IE number)
    Grass measuring method (visual or platemeter)


    Once you send that information we will have you on the system and can create a password for you.

    If you have any questions just give me a call on the numbers below.
