Like your Capex data and Crop Template data, Materials & Fuel data can be farm-specific, team-specific, or public, depending on where the data is created and stored.

• Every public crop template contains built-in materials, which are automatically imported to your farm dataset upon selecting a crop template.

Of course, materials and fuel costs can be highly variable from vendor to vendor and from region to region. As such, your projections will be more accurate if you customize these inputs according to your team’s needs or the needs of individual farms.

Creating & Editing Inputs Data:

1. Navigate to Materials & Fuel under your Teams Menu or within your Farm Dataset, depending on whether you want to edit team data or farm data.

Inputs added within your Team Dataset will be accessible within every team project and by every team member. Alternatively, inputs added within a Farm Dataset will be accessible only within that farm.

1. Within the Materials tab, click New Input+ to create an input. Otherwise, click an existing input to enter and edit its details.
2. Fill in the appropriate input data:

• Input name
  • Enter any identifying information for that input (e.g. fertilizer nutrient ratio, brand or manufacturer, etc.)
• Unit
  • How will you measure this input?
  • Input units are customizable, but should reflect the unit in which the item will be purchased
    • e.g. lbs, pallets, cubic yards, etc.
• Package quantity
  • How many units are in one purchasable quantity?
    • e.g. 50 lbs fertilizer per bag
• Package cost
  • What is the cost of one purchasable quantity
• Shipping multiplier
  • Multiply your purchase quantity by this number to estimate shipping.
  • Shipping rates will vary depending on the item weight, state, vendor, service provider, and delivery timeframe, though a shipping multiplier of 1.1 will account for most scenarios.

1. Click Save to add the input to your Materials & Fuel Dataset.

Creating & Editing Fuel Data:

1. Navigate to Materials & Fuel under your Teams Menu or within your Farm Dataset, depending on whether you want to edit team data or farm data.
