| Supplementary feeds and fodder crops in Overseer - Friday, July 08, 2011We’ve recently received a few enquiries about aspects of use of supplementary feeds in the model, and also a question around fodder crops. We’ve released a technical note to explain how Overseer deals with these. |
| New User interface released for testing - Friday, July 08, 2011Overseer 6 User Interface has been circulated to a number of industry representatives for testing prior to release; further evidence that the release of a new version of Overseer is getting closer. The UI has a completely different look and is accessed via your computer’s web browser. We believe that it is clearer to use, is well supported by help screens and on-screen text and allows the user to follow a logical sequence of data input. We’ll see if the external testers agree with us! |

FLRC have kindly granted us permission to make available past FLRC papers relating to OVERSEER. Because in the past we have used the FLRC workshops to brief users on new developments, these papers serve as a useful reference source for aspects of the model. We expect papers presented at the 2011 workshop to be available shortly.

| Version 5.4.8; have you noticed the shallow soils component? - Wednesday, September 01, 2010When upgrading to the latest release of OVERSEER, we took the opportunity to adjust the soil-type effect on N leaching for stony or shallow soils. The model now responds better, with increased N leaching on these soils. Recent testing confirmed that the new version responded well to soil-type effects when compared with long-term N leaching data from Lincoln University Dairy Farm, kindly supplied by Prof. Keith Cameron. |
