AgYields National Database
A central library housing all of New Zealand’s historic and future pasture and crop growth and yield data, accessible to all, was the vision for Lincoln University’s Professor Derrick Moot.
The Agyields database has come to fruition thanks the forward thinking of Professor Moot, and we are proud to provide funding for this initiative.
Professor Moot, who has dedicated his career to the advancement of pasture in New Zealand, got to thinking about what would happen to the vast amounts of data he has amassed over his career on his retirement.
Although he says no retirement is imminent, he wanted to future proof his work, and the work of others.
