The MLA Carbon Calculator gives you the ability to calculate your carbon emissions from on farm operations. It will collect data from your livestock and cropping records. You can use this to establish baseline emissions calculations and can then be submitted directly to the MLA.
Accessing the Calculator
To access the MLA Carbon Calculator you will need to be on the AgriWebb Web Portal > Navigate to Reports and you will find the sustainability banner at the top of the screen.
Reports is circled above in the red box
Once you have clicked into the Sustainability tab you will then find the MLA Carbon Calculator, circled above in the Red Box.
Using the Carbon Calculator
Clicking into the Carbon Calculator you will see a button in the top right hand corner that says “ Start new submission” , you will then be asked to fill out the New Calculation prompts as seen below.
Pre-filled livestock data
The Carbon Calculator has the ability to take the AgriWebb records you completed during the selected reporting year and pre-fill the livestock section of the calculator for you to reduce double-entry of data.
To do this ensure you keep the "yes, pre-fill it for me" option selected, once you hit save we will load your records into the livestock selection.

Understanding cohorts
Cohorts group animals that are managed the same way during the reporting period, for example, all breeder cows or 2024-drop heifers.
AgriWebb automatically creates cohorts using:
Age class (e.g., Heifers, Cows, Steers)
Enterprise (e.g., Breeder, Trading), if available
Notes:
Management groups aren’t included in pre-fill. Create or rename cohorts if you want to review data that way.
You can rename, remove, or add cohorts in the form. This won’t change records in AgriWebb itself.
If animals or records are missing, add or correct them in the AgriWebb, sync, then refresh the submission.
Completing the form with Pre-Fill
AgriWebb pre-fills the submission form using existing records to save time, but you must still review and attest to the accuracy of all data before submitting.
How Pre-Fill Works
Pre-fill pulls in existing livestock records from your AgriWebb account including
Births
Sales
Purchases
Transfers on/off
Deaths
Age In/Out
Cohort changes
Livestock are grouped into cohorts for easier review (see more info above ).
It is best to open each cohort and review the data that has been pre-filled for accuracy. Do this by selecting the Edit button at the end of the row.
If data needs to be changed we recommend recording or editing the records in the AgriWebb and then refreshing the submission form. If needed you can also add records in the submission form but this data will not be available in AgriWebb for further decision-making.
From here finish the submission by adding in data manually for following areas, these being Cultivation Cycles, Savannah Burning, Vegetation, Energy and Allocations.
As you fill out the the calculator the required areas will have an asterisk against them and in the Cultivation, and energy section you will have the ability to hit the below button.
Results
Once all of the fields have been filled in the Carbon Calculator, you will then be able to submit the data through to the MLA for your properties carbon profile.
