SmartCut: An AI-Based Predictive Model for Determining the Optimal Harvest Time in Grasslands – Earth Observation and AI for Sustainable Productivity
The dairy industry, the economic backbone of the grassland-rich low-mountain regions of the Eifel, Hunsrück, Hochwald, West Palatinate, and Westerwald, is under pressure. In Rhineland-Palatinate (RLP), the number of dairy farms is declining while farm sizes continue to increase, raising demands on farm management. At the same time, milk production fluctuates due to changing environmental conditions and farming practices. To sustain dairy farming and permanent grassland, strategies are needed to improve productivity. Grassland yield and forage quality are key factors for livestock farm efficiency, with mowing time having a major influence on both. This project aims to develop a grassland growth model that helps farmers identify the optimal mowing time by integrating weather data and forecasts, environmental variables such as soil moisture, fertilization practices, and field accessibility.
Results and the Final report will be found here, as soon as the project is completed.
