Crops Module#
Track your crops from planting to harvest and beyond. Manage crop stages, monitor growth progress, and record all related activities throughout each season.
Key Features#
Crop Types#
Specify the crop type to automatically classify as annual or perennial. This determines how the crop lifecycle and field associations are managed.
Stage Tracking#
Track your crop through 7 stages: Preparation, Seeding, Growing, Fruiting, Harvesting, Post-Harvest, and Sold.
Season Management#
Create seasons to organize activities by crop cycle. For perennial crops, new seasons are prompted automatically when the crop is marked as sold.
Field Association#
Link crops to specific fields to track which areas are in use. Fields are automatically released based on crop type and stage.
Crop Stages#
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Preparation | Initial stage for preparing the field and planning the crop cycle |
| Seeding | Seeds or seedlings have been planted in the field |
| Growing | Crop is actively growing and developing |
| Fruiting | Crop has begun producing fruits, grains, or harvestable produce |
| Harvesting | Crop is ready for or currently being harvested |
| Post-Harvest | Harvest complete. Processing, drying, or storage activities |
| Sold | Crop has been sold. Field release behavior depends on crop type |
Annual vs Perennial Crops#
Annual Crops#
Annual crops complete their lifecycle in one season. When marked as Sold, associated fields are automatically released for new crops.
Perennial Crops#
Perennial crops continue across multiple seasons. When marked as Sold, the crop automatically moves to Preparation stage for a new season. Fields remain associated until the crop is moved to Removed stage.
Tip: To release fields from a perennial crop, update the crop status to “Removed”.
Supported Actions#
| Action | Usage |
|---|---|
| Income | Record sales revenue from your harvest. Track buyer details, quantities sold, and sale prices. |
| Expenses | Track all costs including seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, labor, equipment rental, and other inputs. |
| Tasks | Schedule and manage farming activities like irrigation, spraying, weeding, and harvesting. |
| Notes | Record observations about crop health, weather conditions, pest sightings, or any important information. |
| Yields | Record harvest quantities and quality metrics to track productivity across seasons. |
| Documents | Attach photos, receipts, certificates, or any relevant documents to your crop records. |
Reports#
Each crop has a dedicated report available at the bottom of the crop summary screen.
Accessing Crop Report#
Navigate to: Crops → [Specific Crop] → Report (at bottom of summary)
Report Features#
- View - See complete crop summary including income, expenses, yields, and profitability

This module-level report combines all data for that specific crop in one place, making it easy to analyze performance and profitability per crop and per season.
Tips#
- Create a new season for each crop cycle to maintain organized records and compare performance across seasons.
- Update crop stages regularly to get accurate insights into your farming activities.
- Use the Notes action to document weather events, pest observations, or farming experiments.
- Record expenses immediately after purchase to maintain accurate cost tracking.
- Take photos of crop growth at each stage using Documents for visual progress tracking.
- For perennial crops, remember to create a new season after marking as Sold to continue tracking.
Frequently Asked Questions#
How do I release fields from a perennial crop?
For perennial crops, fields remain associated across seasons. To release the fields, update the crop status to “Removed”. This will free the fields for use with other crops.
When should I create a new season?
For annual crops, create a new crop entry for each planting. For perennial crops, you’ll be prompted to create a new season when you mark the crop as Sold. You can also manually create a new season anytime.
What happens when I mark a crop as Sold?
For annual crops, the associated fields are automatically released. For perennial crops, the system prompts you to create a new season and moves the crop back to Preparation stage.
Can I track multiple varieties of the same crop?
Yes, create separate crop entries for each variety. This allows you to track performance, costs, and yields independently for each variety.
How do I track crop profitability?
Record all expenses and income for your crop. The app calculates profit by comparing total income against total expenses for each crop and season.
