This is where you define your farm or any other land you may own or rent.

Setting up your farm is the first thing you do in Farm Statistics. Once a farm is defined, you will be able to add buildings and fields to it. By default, a farm has been setup based on your account information.

You can edit it by selecting the update link on the right side of the page. To add a new farm or property, select the button at the top right hand side of the page. Each farm will have its own set of fields and buildings.

You need to define your fields to before adding crops or pesticide records. Fields can be defined by acres or by square feet for gardeners. There is also an option for gallons for gardeners that use containers.

There is an area to add soil conditions: pH, PNK and micronutrient are all optional. There is a note section to log and soil amendments you add. And there is an area to display all past and present crops that grew in that area.

Add your barns, sheds, greenhouses and livestock buildings for each farm. These are a necessary prerequisite if you plant to use the inventory module. Make sure all farms are defined before adding buildings.

Crops can be defined as field of soybeans, a garden of vegetables or a greenhouse full of hanging baskets. Farm Statistics give you many options to accommodate different types of users.

When defining a crop, you can choose a pre-defined template or select a blank one. A predefined template gives you a list of tasks and expenses to help lessen the burden of adding items. We feel it is easier to delete unwanted items than to add new ones. With a blank template, you will have to add all your tasks and expenses.

Our equipment tool helps you manage your fleet. Simple to use, just enter each unit into the system and you will have the ability to keep comprehensive service records without a lot of data entry.

This module is used to keep track of your supplies and where you keep them. Before using you must have the vendor and buildings defined.

Items are categorized to make them easy to retrieve in the field without and searching. Once an item is added you will be given a list of predefined categories to choose. You can put an item in several categories and even create your own categories.
