Which crop made you money

Six cost categories, four scopes, and a harvest log that already knows what each bed produced. PlotsFarm puts revenue against directly attributed costs on every planting, ranks your crops by net at season end, and books the water and amendments you would never record by hand. Then you stop growing the crop that cost you money.

Opening a tomato planting's P&L card: revenue from logged harvests, seed and amendment costs against it, direct net, and the shared-costs hint · 60 seconds

Cost scopes

Profit by bed, not by guess

Book a cost against a planting, a bed, a field, or the whole farm, in one of six categories: seeds, amendments, labor, supplies, overhead, water. The planting card shows direct net, revenue from logged harvests minus the costs attributed straight to it, with a hint whenever shared costs exist so you do not mistake gross for net. Bed 8 Sungold and Bed 9 Cherokee Purple get their own answers.

  • Six categories, four scopes
  • Direct net on every planting card
  • Bulk cost entry for a box of receipts

Crop ranking

Your crops, ranked by net

The crops report lines up every crop you grew this season with its revenue, its direct costs, and its net, sorted so the winners and the losers are at opposite ends. Switch seasons with a pill at the top to see whether garlic has paid for itself three years running or only once. Print it before the winter planning meeting; the reallocation argument is already made.

Values

4,200 pounds. Good season?

Pounds alone do not answer the question. The performance view values what you harvested at your prices and sets it against the catalog's forecast for that footprint, so you can see which beds pulled their weight. The yield variance card on each planting shades leaf green at 90 percent of forecast or better, amber at 75, terracotta below; the fields page projects season yield and revenue per field before the season ends.

Season review

Your season, by the numbers

The season report stacks revenue and costs month by month, so the March seed order and the September tomato money sit on the same chart. Each cost has two dates: the day you paid it, for cash flow, and the season it belongs to, for the per-season total, so a bag of amendments bought in November counts toward next year without confusing this one.

  • Monthly stacked bars, revenue and costs
  • Paid-on date separate from season year

Amendments as cost

Compost down, cost booked

Spread two yards of compost on Bed 12 and log the amendment from the bed on your phone; it lands as a cost against that bed in the same save. The feeding plan reaches the books from the task list too: complete the side-dress task on the garlic, log the amendment from it, and the fertilizer cost is booked against the planting. The P&L stays honest because nothing waits for a desk session.
