Daily Insights, Sharper Accuracy, Smoother Switch
LIC SPACE™, has confirmed SPACE™ will cease on 31 May 2025. Pasture.io has taken the reigns as the most popular satellite-backed pasture measurement on New Zealand farms.
Rather than settling for weekly—or even fortnightly updates—you can get started with near-daily readings that already outperform SPACE on cost and accuracy.

🚀 Why Pasture.io Wins for NZ Farms
More readings, no extra walks
Daily Ultimate plan satellites capture images on average every 2.89 days across Aotearoa, giving you fresher data for informed grazing and feed budgets.
Reliable satellite readings you can trust
Drawing on high-resolution imagery and years of field-tested data, Pasture.io delivers pasture-cover estimates you can confidently base your grazing decisions on—no manual measurements required.
Market-proven expertise since 2018
Pasture.io has delivered reliable satellite-based pasture insights for farmers across Aotearoa (and beyond) for more than six seasons—so you’re partnering with a platform that’s already stood the test of time.
AI that learns your paddocks
“Pio” refines each satellite pass using your grazing history and local climate, so estimates tighten over time instead of drifting.
No hardware, no collars, no hidden fees
Everything happens in the app you already use for feed wedges, tasks and reporting—no capital outlay required.
Pricing & Plans - How it Works
Start with Fundamental—your all‑in‑one app for feed wedges, paddock records, and manual pasture covers.
When you’re ready to automate, simply bolt on the satellite add-on that matches your grazing system. (NZ dairy farms opt for Ultimate to capture near‑daily growth changes.)
All prices shown are the total you pay—no hidden fees or NZ GST.

💸 Pasture.io vs LIC SPACE™ Cost Comparison
- LIC SPACE’s list price excludes GST
- Pasture.io’s prices are AUD and represent the total amount payable for New Zealand customers, with no hidden fees.
Below is a direct annual cost comparison. You’ll see that Pasture.io is often more affordable—and our Ultimate plan, featuring up to daily satellite-backed readings, remains highly competitive.
👉 For the average 162‑ha NZ dairy farm, switching to Ultimate lands within the ballpark of your current SPACE fee—yet gives you up to 10× the readings.

🗣️ Hear It From a Kiwi Farmer
For me, this program has been a game changer here in New Zealand and for the world. Other programs don’t do what Pasture.io does. I wouldn’t think of using anything else.
