Planning & Design
Ensuring the crop rotation plan itself is well-defined and suitable for the farm's specific needs.
Describe the overall goals of the crop rotation plan (e.g., pest/disease control, soil health, yield improvement).
What is the primary driver for this crop rotation plan?
Number of years in the crop rotation cycle.
What are the key considerations when selecting crops for this rotation?
Upload a map of the farm showing planned crop allocation for the rotation cycle (optional).
Briefly describe how the rotation addresses specific soil health challenges (e.g., compaction, nutrient depletion).
Implementation - Field Preparation
Checks related to preparing fields according to the crop rotation schedule.
Scheduled Field Clearing Date
Actual Field Clearing Date
Residue Biomass (kg/m²)
Notes on Field Clearing/Preparation (e.g., soil disturbance, weed control)
Tillage Method Used
Soil Moisture Content (%)
Description of any soil amendments applied (e.g., lime, fertilizer)
Soil Compaction Assessment
Implementation - Planting & Seeding
Focuses on the correct crops being planted in the designated fields as per the rotation plan.
Planned Crop for Field X?
Actual Crop Planted in Field X?
If 'Other' crop planted, specify and provide reasoning for deviation from plan:

Observed Pest/Disease Issues & Management Actions
Weed Control Methods Used (e.g., cultivation, herbicide)
Irrigation Status (if applicable)
Date of Last Pest/Disease Scouting
Notes on Crop Health and Vigor
Implementation - Harvesting & Residue Management
Ensuring proper harvesting practices and residue management contribute to the rotation's benefits.
Harvest Start Date for Crop X
Harvest End Date for Crop X
Estimated Yield of Crop X (e.g., bushels/acre)
Description of Harvesting Methods Used for Crop X
Residue Management Practices Applied After Harvest of Crop X
Details of 'Other' Residue Management Practice (if selected above)
Estimated Residue Biomass (e.g., tons/acre) - if relevant for specific rotation goals
Residue Removal Method
Observations on Residue Condition (e.g., decomposition rate, pest presence)
Monitoring & Record Keeping
Tracking crop performance and adherence to the plan, and maintaining accurate records.
Date of Crop Rotation Plan Review
Notes from Crop Rotation Plan Review (e.g., observed issues, proposed changes)
Yield (Bushels/Acres) - Crop 1
