Fonterra Co-operative Group and Livestock Improvement Corporation, both farmer-owned co-operatives, are set to launch a new online farm performance tool in mid-February.
Agrigate, first announced in July 2015, creates a single site for farmers to access core data such as milk production and quality data, herd data, pasture data and local weather forecasts, among others, in a bid to become more efficient.
"A key outcome will be enabling farmers to make the most efficient use of their resources, which is important in both tough and better times," LIC chief executive Wayne McNee said in a joint statement with Fonterra.
According to the two co-operatives, the tool was developed in response to a request from farmers given an ever-increasing range of technology and information.
A prototype was trialled last August and the aim is to fully launch it next month.
