Know what is happening in the paddock before you head out. Hay Mate Medium helps Australian hay producers and baling contractors follow changing conditions remotely and get an alert when humidity reaches their chosen threshold.
Temperature, humidity and rainfall
Add local rainfall monitoring to temperature and humidity readings.
How it works
Hay Mate logs temperature and humidity every 5 minutes and sends readings to the cloud and app every 10 minutes.
Check the readings and graphs over time in the Hay Mate app.
Set your own humidity threshold. The system calls and texts your phone and the selected users on your hay team when that threshold is reached.
Telstra 4G/4GX connectivity; suitable mobile coverage is required.
Solar powered, with built-in battery storage. Every Hay Mate includes a solar panel that keeps its battery charged during normal outdoor use, so there is no routine recharging.
Humidity is a leading indicator of changing baling conditions. Use it alongside checks of the hay’s moisture and condition; there is no single humidity threshold that suits every crop or paddock.
