My friend Tomm Becker at Sunseed farm has developed a great Excel based crop planning spreadsheet tool* that can be useful to any grower, and he’s offering it for free to download through his website: http://www.farmsunseed.com/. Just go to the site and look for the link to ‘Crop Planning Spreadsheets’ on the left.
Check out some of its features:
Tomm and Trilby from Sunseed Farm

- Generate ready-to-print transplant and field planting schedules with the push of a button. These checklists contain all the information you need to seed and plant your crops.
- Easily add new crops or customize your crop plan to include many varieties or successions of each crop. New crops or successions can be added with the click of a button.
