Farm Operations

🔧Equipment Management

1. Navigate to the Farm tab and tap "Equipment."
2. Tap "+ Add Equipment" to register a machine.

   Enter: type (tractor, combine, sprayer, etc.), make/model, year, serial number, purchase date, purchase price, and a photo.
3. Set up preventive maintenance schedules.

   Configure oil changes, filter replacements, tire checks, belt inspections, and custom tasks. Verdix sends reminders based on hours of use or calendar intervals.
4. Log repairs with parts used, cost, technician, and downtime hours.
5. Track fuel consumption for each machine to identify efficiency trends.

• Full fleet inventory with specs and current book value
• Preventive maintenance scheduling with hour/calendar-based alerts
• Repair history with parts, cost, and downtime tracking
• Fuel consumption trending and efficiency analysis
• Automatic depreciation calculation for tax planning
• Equipment sharing and cooperative booking
• Critical spare parts inventory with reorder alerts

Add Equipment form - name, type, make, model, year

🔄Crop Rotation Planning

1. In the Farm tab, tap "Crop Rotation."
2. Select a field and view its crop history.
3. Plan future rotations using the multi-year planner.

   Verdix suggests rotations based on crop families, soil nutrient needs, and pest cycles. For example, avoid planting nightshades (tomatoes, peppers, potatoes) in the same field two years in a row.
4. Set rotation rules for your operation.

   Define minimum years between same-family crops, cover crop requirements, and required fallow periods. Verdix enforces these rules and warns about violations.
5. View the field-level rotation map to see your entire operation's plan at a glance.

📍Field Mapping

1. In the Farm tab, tap "Fields" and then "+ Add Field."
2. Walk the field boundary with your phone to trace it via GPS.

   Verdix uses your device's GPS to trace the field perimeter. For higher accuracy, use an external Bluetooth GPS receiver (RTK-capable for 2-3 cm precision).
3. Review the boundary and edit points as needed. Verdix auto-calculates acreage.
4. Add zone overlays for variable-rate management.

   Divide fields into management zones based on soil type, drainage, elevation, or yield history. These zones drive variable-rate seeding and fertilizer application maps.

💰Financial Dashboard

1. In the Farm tab, tap "Financials."
2. View the profit/loss summary by crop, field, and time period.
3. Log input costs: seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, fuel, labor, equipment, and custom categories.

   Costs can be assigned per field, per acre, or per crop. Verdix calculates cost per bushel/pound automatically.
4. Track revenue from sales, including market price per unit and total income.
5. Review cash flow projections and seasonal financing needs.

• Profit/loss by crop, field, and season
• Input cost tracking with per-acre and per-bushel breakdowns
• Cash flow forecasting with seasonal projections
• Market price tracking and forward contract management
• Subsidy and grant tracking with application deadlines
• Tax preparation exports: P&L by crop, depreciation schedules
• Invoice and payment tracking for vendors and buyers

👷Labor Management

1. In the Farm tab, tap "Labor."
2. Add team members with their roles, skills, certifications, and availability.
3. Create work schedules and assign tasks by field, crop, or activity.

   Workers receive mobile notifications with task details, location, and special instructions.
4. Workers clock in/out from their phones with geolocation verification.
5. Review timesheets, task completion rates, and labor cost reports.
