CropPlanning
|
Crop Planning Software for small farmers and serious gardeners. Plan for and manage the myriad crops, varieties and plantings required to keep a modern, intensive market garden producing throughout the growing season. This is a cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Unix, etc) desktop software that allows small farmers and gardeners to: Create, duplicate and delete crops and plantings; inherit data from other plantings and crops; key in a few data and let the software calculate the rest for you; sort and filter your plantings. These are all possible and new features are being added all the time. The program has been released as open source, free program and therefore is and will always be available free of charge. Those who donate, however, will have access to priority email support.
CropPlanning Features:
1. familiar, spreadsheet-like interface
2. easily create and print weekly field planting and GH seeding lists
3. sort and filter your crop plans so you only see what you want to see
4. strong database makes it easier to work with your plans and keep data linked together
5. easily keep track of whether something has been planted, transplanted and harvested
6. easily keep track of the actual and planned dates upon which something is planted, transplanted and harvested
7. data can be "linked" from crops ==> varieties ==> individual plantings
8. enter certain values and have others calculated automatically; for example:
* enter a number of beds or row-feet to plant and the software can calculate how many transplants you'll need
* enter a desired yield quantity and the software can tell you how many row-feet or beds you should plant
* enter your desired date of harvest and the software can estimate when to plant
9. import & export data
10. bed and row lengths can be set for every field or even for every bed
11. New! Missed a planting? Don't delete it, just ignore it (ie, "skip" it) to get it out of the way.
12. New! Plantings can be explicitly marked as direct seeded or transplanted and can have different planting data accordingly.
