Problem Statement/functional need Areas around waterers in paddocks often get over used, muddy and compacted. Concrete is expensive and permanent and doesn't grow grass. Buried systems are also expensive to install and not flexible if paddocks or grazing plans change. The design is low cost and flexible to enable new fields to be set up quickly and at low cost and spread animal traffic out and avoid compaction and muddy areas.

Tool Started 4-18-14. Last Updated 4-19-14 Apologies. This post is in progress. I can't find where to hide it while being developed, so I thought I would rush and add some content over the next few days.
Make note that the Arduino screw shield is not required. An electric imp however is required. Without the Arduino screw shield, you can make this complete circuit and start harvesting temperatures wherever you have internet access.
This is a placeholder for the Arduino system developed for the biodiesel trailer...
