Conundrum FarmsManagement System

The working system behind the farm. It holds every bed and block on the property, the crops and varieties we grow, and what we have learned about each one — how it yields here, how it sells, and how long it takes. From that it builds a season plan working backwards from what customers actually want, puts it in the ground bed by bed, and records what really happened so the next plan is built on measurements rather than guesses.

Day to day it is the farm map, the field-walk sheets, the harvest and market records, and the jobs each person is doing this week. It is for the people who run Conundrum Farms — there is nothing here for the public.

What it keeps track of

The ground
Every field, block and bed, and what is in each one right now.
The catalogue
Which crops we grow here, and the numbers behind each variety.
The plan
What goes where and when, worked back from what the markets need.
The record
What was observed, harvested and sold — and how close the plan came.
