Feature Information
Farm planning and budgeting allows users to create a farm/commodity plan for growers that are based off of draft recommendations. It will help our customers and sales teams to make informed choices of products and services based on their direct impact to the cost and value of their production.
Creating a New Farm Plan
To start a new farmplan, this can be done in the growers “Quick info ” popup.
Each farm plan will be comprised of multiple commodity plans. This allows the user to create a holistic view of the customers entire operation.
Locations
In the commodity plant, you can add a general acreage total to use to calculate the cost per acre with in the budget. Or you can directly link any Agverdict Field / Block / Sub-Block.
Important:
Locations can be added to the commodity plan, even if they do not match the current commodity set to the plan. That lands commodity will be changed once the recommendations that land is included in are submitted. This is also true for the locations variety and farming method.
Inputs “Budget Items”
In each Commodity plan, we allow the user to either add simplistic “high level” Budget items. Or detailed ones that are based off of draft recommendations.
Operating Costs
These can be added from a pre-determined list and added into the commodity plan. These are not required pieces of information, but help to build a complete picture of the overall costs and budget needed for the customer.
Revenue
This is also not a required piece of information, but again will help paint the entire needs and profitability of the Commodity plan that is being built.
Farm Plan Summary
This tab will display all of the details of the budget for all of the commodity plans within the Farm plan. You will be able to see the individual commodity plans Income / Operating costs / Revenue / Net Income.
On the bottom of the screen we will display the overall Income / Revenue and Cost Per Acre across all of the commodity plans.
