[OSGeo-Discuss] OS GIS for Grazing Planning

[Frank Aragona]

We would probably want to start with desktop.  My thinking is that 
something like Grass or QGIS could plug into a PostGIS database.  What 
we need is something that allows the user to input some basic variables, 
like available forage (in animal days per acre/hectare), paddock sizes, 
herd size, grazing recovery period, etc., and the database will output 
some grazing plan maps plus some charts and figures showing the user 
what will be occurring on the landscape.  To go into more detail, we'd 
have to discuss how we are doing the grazing planning now, which is 
basically all pen and paper.
