Plantings

A planting is a combination of a crop type and a grow location. Essentially, you'll choose what crop type you want to plant, and then where to plant it. Farmbrite will use the details specificized in the crop type to automatically calculate things like when the plant should be planted after frost, and when you can expect to harvest that planting. You can create multiple plantings of crop types, and lay them out in separate fields or beds. You can also use the Bulk Plantings feature to plant multiple plantings of a single crop across multiple locations with one action. Beyond that, you could also use the Calculate plantings feature to have the software calculate when you should start your planting based on the day you need to harvest. You can then add treatments to these plantings individually, or in bulk if you need. These planting specific treatments might be things like irrigation, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and more. Once ready, you can record harvests for these plantings and place the yield into your inventory. Plantings can be reported on in the reporting section. Once you are done with the plantings, you can also mark them as complete.
