Description
Harvesting is the act of removing the portion of a crop that is useful to humans. One example is removing a ripe apple from an apple tree. In many cases, harvests are then sold. However, there are many other harvest uses as well.
Many types of certifications, including Organic require recording all farm outputs (see Certifications, certifiers, and LiteFarm for more information). Harvests are the primary output of a farm and need to be documented.

For each selected crop management plan:
Attribute | Data type | Required? | Example data | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Quantity | Decimal (w/ unit) | No | “3 kg” | 0 - 9999. Ideally allows the user to choose either mass or volume Unit displays. |
Harvest everything that is ready | Checkbox | No | This is like a “fill it up” at a gas station. | |
Notes | Text | No | “This is the last CSA shipment with tomatoes, so just harvest as much as possible.” | Each crop management plan will have a notes field because each crop management plan selected will become its' own harvest task. |
Upon saving a harvest task, N harvest tasks will be created and assigned to the assignee where N is the number of crop management plans selected. By doing this, each task can be individually completed with its' specific harvest quantities and harvest uses. There is no multi-crop harvest completion flow in Q3 2021.
