A pasture wedge graph or feed wedge is a farm management tool used by dairy farmers for the purposes of managing pasture. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It takes the form of a bar graph , [ 4 ] that shows the amount of feed available in a pasture over time, and is therefore shaped as a declining wedge.

Wood pasture, one of the oldest land-use practices in human history, [6] is a historical European land management system in which open woodland provided shelter and forage for grazing animals, particularly sheep and cattle, as well as woodland products such as timber for construction and fuel, coppiced stems for wattle and charcoal making and ...
The three-field system is a regime of crop rotation in which a field is planted with one set of crops one year, a different set in the second year, and left fallow in the third year. A set of crops is rotated from one field to another.
