Farm Lots: Each Field With Its Own Crop, Variety and Day Count
Few farms plant every field on the same day. In anee.io your farm lots are the fields of a season, each with its own crop, variety, size and location. Every lot counts from its own day zero, so a lot sown a week late keeps honest timing on the board.
What each of your farm lots holds
Open a cropping schedule and add a lot for each field. Only the name must be filled in, so add the rest as you know it.
- The name, and the size in hectares, square meters or acres
- The crop, from 85 Philippine crops, which sets the lot's growth stages
- Days to maturity for your variety, so every stage moves with it, or the age of the trees for an orchard
- The variety, typed as it is sold
- The day counter, which decides how the lot's days are counted
- Barangay, purok, province and town, so the weather follows the lot
- Notes and tags
Type the rice variety as the seed bag says it, like NSIC Rc 222. Choose the crop and the day counter with care, because they cannot change after you save. Every date on the board depends on them.
Day zero and the count for each lot
The day counter tells anee.io how to count. Sown then transplanted counts days after sowing, DAS, then starts over as DAT on transplant day. Direct seeded counts DAS all season. Planted counts DAP, days after planting, for corn and most vegetables. Mature trees have no day count, so their stages follow the age of the trees.
Day zero itself is set on the board. When you add the sowing or planting activity, mark it as Day 0 for the lot. For transplanted rice, mark the transplanting too. From there the cropping calendar dates each task by the lot's own count. Two lots sown a week apart keep separate counts, so DAT 21 falls on the right day for both.
For the usual timing of each step, see our guide to pagtatanim ng palay. Corn growers can read pagtatanim ng mais.
When a lot falls behind
Rain, a late tractor or a replant can leave one lot behind the calendar. On the board, tap a task's day count and add a delay counter for that lot. Each activity then shows both counts side by side, the calendar's and the delayed one, and nothing else moves.
Pin the lot and attach its map
Tap Attach a map on a lot, then pick one of your saved maps or draw a new one. On a new map you pin the lot and trace its edges over the satellite view. A pinned lot shows a chip that opens the spot in Google Maps, which helps a hired driver find the right field. See farm maps for measuring area and sides.
The lot's town and province also feed the farm weather forecast. So if your lots sit in two towns, each gets its own forecast.
Two crops in one season
The crop belongs to the lot, not to the season. So one cropping schedule can carry palay in the paddies and mais on the upland block, each with its own stages and count. Growth stages and weather then show each lot's stage on any date you pick.
The free Libre plan and Libre plus Anee allow one lot per season. Solo Farmer allows up to five lots in a season, and Farm Owner has no limit. Adding, editing and deleting lots stays with the farm owner. Workers with a team login still see the lots on the board.
Port a protocol from the Protocol Builder into a new season. You name the lots and give each its start date as you go. Every task then lands on each lot's own count.
How farm lots helps your crops and your farm
- Each field run on its own timing. Lots sown a week apart keep their own day count, so each gets its fertilizer at the right age.
- Answer once, use everywhere. A lot's place, size, soil and water are read by every analysis, so you are not asked again and again.
- Clear numbers per field. Yield, cost and profit can be seen lot by lot, so you know which field earns and which one needs work.
- Two crops, one season. Different crops on different lots stay organized on the same board.
