AgResearch's software development team has created a simple software application to help you complete your Emissions Trading Scheme forestry return quickly and easily. It is compatible with a wide range of standard aerial images, and will also load images from Google Maps. After you outline your forestry block all the calculations are done for you using the rules and tables in the MAF guidelines, and your files are ready for submission.

Resolution Farm Management Software

Resolution is an easy to use mapping and planning tool which will give you the accurate view of your farm you have always wanted.

Resolution lets you draw a map of your farm, horticulture or cropping blocks. You can base your drawing on an orthocorrected aerial photograph (so that areas are correct) and load additional layers such as contours, roads, and waterways.

Once you have your base map, you can start planning -- work out the amount of fertiliser, spray, or seed needed for a specific area, and plan when you'll undertake different activities. Print plans for your contractors, fertiliser spreaders, staff, or consultants.

You can also record actual applications of fertiliser and soil test results, and monitor changes to the fertility of your farm.
