Recording a harvest operation

The Harvest dialogue box is used to record harvest operations, including the allocation of the harvested crop into your storage location(s).

To ensure that your profit and loss reporting is accurate, you must enter the equipment and labour information in the harvest dialogue box. To ensure that your inventory on hand is reported accurately, you must allocate your harvested crop into the storage location(s).

Set up your equipment and labour with a realistic usage cost before entering your harvest operation. You can harvest a crop that wasn’t planted, as well as multiple crops from one land area in the same crop year. This is useful for harvests with multiple by-products, such as harvesting wheat and then straw bales on the same land.
