Grasstec Group provides GPS-based farm mapping and infrastructure planning services across Ireland and the UK. An accurate, up-to-date farm map is the starting point for almost every decision a farm makes, from grazing planning to roadway upgrades to long-term land use, yet most Irish and UK farms are still working from maps that are decades out of date. Our mapping team surveys your farm using the latest GPS equipment and turns it into clear, practical maps your whole team can use.

Why an accurate farm map matters: A current farm map isn’t just a wall decoration; it’s a working tool. It helps you plan grazing rotations; brief staff and relief milkers quickly; support grant, BPS or nutrient management planning; and give buyers, valuers or the next generation a clear picture of the farm during succession or sale. Because our maps are built from real GPS measurements rather than historic Ordnance Survey data, the areas and boundaries you see are the areas you’re actually farming.

Farm mapping is the foundation for the other two services in this section. Once your farm is accurately mapped, that data feeds directly into paddock and roadway design and, where relevant, grazing infrastructure designed around a robotic milking system.

FAQ:

What is farm mapping?

Farm mapping is the process of surveying a farm using GPS technology to produce an accurate, current map of paddocks, roadways, water systems and boundaries, replacing outdated or inaccurate historic maps.

Do you provide farm mapping services outside Ireland?

Yes — our farm mapping, paddock design and grazing infrastructure services are available throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe.

How long does a farm mapping survey take?

It depends on farm size and layout, but it’s usually a couple of hours to a day’s work. Then allow 10 to 14 days to process your maps.

What format do I get my farm map in?

Maps can be supplied as large wall maps, A4 maps, pocket maps, whiteboards, or digital PDF files — see our Farm Mapping Service page for details.
