I have just started using Greenlight Grower but find it very poor to use.
You cannot record a sowing on the mobile app but you can record a whole plethora of useless field activities, like apply sunscreen, dead wooding, fire breaks.
Why make it hard to do the obvious things we really need to record?
I also find it cumbersome if you spray a number of fields but slightly alter rates between fields. It seems you have to then record every individual field as a separate record, rather than adjust rate per field.
Also how do others record harvest quantity into store?
We have an unwieldy process of handwritten weights over the weighbridge and then make up a spreadsheet in the office. Every year I end up wasting hours correcting errors between staff in office and farm. And don't always truly trust exactly what's in store.
It would be nice then to somehow record forward grain sales contracts, then physical movement, then paperwork and finally payment. That way we wouldn't lose sight of the cash side and always know how much grain is available to sell.
Do any of the packages do this?
