Soil texture | Irrigation | View | Zone-based view of soil texture including percent sand, clay, and silt per zone. For any given lat / long we want to know a soil texture to be able to understand how water will be stored. | Zone base |

Organic, transitioning, and non-organic locations |
| Location details? | Location-based view of the organic status of each location on the farm. Likely statuses include:
| Location |
|
| Yes | Dynamic | ||||
Crop group (e.g. cereals) |
| Location-based view of the crop groups grown on each location on the farm. In addition to each of the crop groups, we would need a “Not applicable” for non crop-enabled locations. | Location |
|
| Yes | Dynamic | Would need a way to show multiple crop groups being grown on the same location. Time lapse would need to define start / end date logic for crops. | ||||
Crop type (e.g. apples) |
| Location-based view of the type of crops grown on each location on the farm. In addition to each of the crop groups, we would need a “Not applicable” for non crop-enabled locations. | Location |
|
| Yes | Dynamic | Would need a way to show multiple crop types being grown on the same location. Time lapse would need to define start / end date logic for crops. | ||||
Task activity per location Define a date / date range |
| View task homepage pre-filtered for that location and date or date range. | Number of tasks at that location on a specific date or during the date range | Day planner | Choose a person / people Choose a date / a date range. Include the ability to filter by task status and potentially task type. | Location |
|
| Maybe* | Dynamic | Could either use a heatmap treatment to show frequency or just show numbers similar to clustered points. LIkely need a onClick preview to show details about the task. | |
Day planner |
| Show all locations where a particular person is working on a date / date rangean incomplete task exists for the selected assignee or assignees for a selected date or date range. | Location |

Profitability by locationDefine a date |
| Calculate profitability based on either estimated harvest / actual harvest minus inputs and task hours. | ||||||||||
Crop enabled | View | Show the following location types with different visual treatment:
| Location |

| Yes | Dynamic | |||||
Intercropping / Agribiodiversity level |
| Show via a heatmap the relative agribiodiversity of the location. | Location |
|
| Yes | Dynamic | Steps and criteria to be co-designed with Hannah, Lucas, and Illyas. | ||||
Last pruning | Agroforestry |
| Last completed pruning task on this location | Dynamic | May need to add the ability to define how frequently pruning should happen. This could also be an attribute of the crop. | |||||||

Soil texture | Irrigation |
| Zone-based view of soil texture including percent sand, clay, and silt per zone. For any given lat / long we want to know a soil texture to be able to understand how water will be stored. We know soil textures change across depths, e.g. 10 cm vs. 1m. | Zone |
| Current: only 1 version | Yes | Static | Pre-requisite for understanding soil water content. Will need to support multiple depths for each zone. |

Open questions:
Different types of layer history:
Some will change regularly and will be able to learn from changes over time
Some just need the ability to roll-back to previous, more correct versions
For layers with a time step functionality targeting locations, should locations appear / dissapear as their creation date is passed?
