Abstract: Evaluating opportunities to improve management is important for farmers seeking to operate profitable pasture-based dairy production systems. Digital technologies offer the prospect of increased automation on-farm and unprecedented amounts of data, including spatial data. The potential benefits of increased automation are more readily quantifiable than the benefits of more data. For data to be beneficial, it must provide the required information at the desired accuracy at the right time, leading to improved decision-making and farm outcomes.
