The Grazing Calculator
Map a pasture and it pulls satellite-measured forage production, turns it into carrying capacity, and tells you whether a grazing lease pencils out — before you sign it. Built for producers; free to use.
Open the Grazing Calculator →The Local Food Calculator
Set a community, a target, and a diet, and it works bottom-up from people to acres — the land, animals, and dollar gap to feed a place from its own ground. Every assumption is on the table and editable. Built on Qorner Consulting's local-food methodology; free to use.
