The Planting screen tracks current crops, varieties, planting dates and your rotation history across parcels. It is where the cropping plan and the rotation story live.
Opening Planting
Go to Farming > Planting. There are four tabs: Overview, Current Crops, Rotation History and Inputs.
Overview tab
The Overview tab summarises your active crops, planted area, parcels in rotation and varieties grown. A donut chart shows the breakdown of crops by category, a "Currently Growing" card highlights what is in the ground right now, and a recent activity list shows the latest planting and [[company/harvest|harvest]] events.
Current Crops tab
Search by crop, variety or parcel and filter by status (growing / harvested / planted / failed) and by category. Each crop appears as a card showing the parcel, variety, dates and status. The empty state ("No planting records found") prompts you to create your first record.
Rotation History tab
Pick a parcel from the dropdown to see its rotation timeline. If you don't pick a parcel, the screen shows a grid of all parcels - click any of them to drill into that parcel's rotation. This view is useful when an inspector or scheme requires you to demonstrate that you've kept a varied rotation.
Inputs tab
The Inputs tab holds fertilizer, seed and other input records linked to crops. This is where you build the audit trail of what went into each parcel.
How planting data is reused
SFI [[company/arable|arable]] actions - cover crop and rotation evidence is drawn from here
[[company/wildfarmed|Wildfarmed]] - declared cropping pulls from your current crops
NVZ - planting categories help with crop-uptake calculations
Tips
Record the variety, not just the crop - it makes seed planning and rotation analysis much more useful
Mark crops as harvested or failed promptly so the Currently Growing card stays [[company/accurate|accurate]]
Use the rotation grid before each season to spot any parcel that has had the same crop for too many years
