Under the Our Farms Network, the Welsh Pasture Project aims to support Welsh farmers with useful, up‑to‑date grazing information — helping you make better, more informed grassland management decisions on your farm.
We’re working with dedicated farmers across Wales to carefully record real, on‑farm grass growth trends. Members are also encouraged to submit frequent fresh grass samples for quality analysis during the grazing season, helping to add even more detail to the overall picture.

We are recruiting farmers to be a part of the Welsh Pasture Project!
- Improve your own grassland performance – get regular insights into how your farm’s grass growth compares with similar systems across Wales.
- Make better grazing decisions – weekly/fortnightly measuring helps you stay ahead of surpluses or deficits.
- Contribute to a Wales-wide picture of grass growth – your data helps other farmers make informed management choices, especially during tricky seasons.
- Support from the project team – Trouble shooting support available – on hand to help with any questions that you might have.
- Be part of a progressive farmer network – join a community working together to improve pasture use and profitability in Wales.
