Crop templates are datasets containing all of the most important agronomic, operational, and economic information for a specific crop.
They contain not only crop data, but also all the associated materials, fuel, infrastructure and equipment costs associated with crop management.
Crop templates serve a few primary purposes— namely, disseminating best practices, streamlining farm design, and informing your economic projections.
There are three major template types: Farm-level Templates, Public Templates and Team Templates.
During the design process, the act of assigning a crop template to a section or row automatically imports the crop template’s template’s data to your Farm Dataset, which is located under Economics → Farm Data.
Once stored as Farm Data, template data can be customized to fit your farm’s unique management context.
Alternatively, you can create crop templates from scratch within your farm during the design process. These farm-level templates do not contain pre-populated data (you must input all the data yourself).
Once added to your farm as templates, Crop Data interacts with your design data (stem count, acreage, etc.) to generate your Economic Projections.
Put simply:
Farm Design × (Crop Templates ± Customizations) = Economic Projections.
Select a Section via the Fields Menu.
In the Design Panel on the right, expand the dropdown menu under Crops. Here you will see all available public and team templates for your growing zone.
Select a template.
Economics → Farm Data → Crops.Alternatively, create a new template directly from the Design Page by opening the crop dropdown, typing the name of the crop template you’d like to create, and clicking Add Crop: [Template Name].
Public crop templates fall under the umbrella of Global Data.
The primary purpose of public templates is to disseminate agronomic, operational, and economic information about commercially viable agroforestry species. The data contained in these templates has been compiled by Propagate through R&D, field work, third-party verification, and other methods.
Please note: Propagate’s public templates contain built-in assumptions regarding scale and mechanization which may not align perfectly with your management context. For this reason, we recommend rightsizing public template data to fit your farm.
