Adding Yields

Introduction: This guide will walk you through the process of adding planned and actual yields in Harvest Profit. Properly entering yield data is essential for accurate production estimates and budgeting throughout the crop season.  The video below walks through this guide.  

Steps to Add Yields

  1. Navigate to the Yields Page:
    • Start by going to your Yields page in Harvest Profit.
  2. Select a Crop:
    • Click on the crop you'd like to add the yield for (top of the page).
  3. Enter a Planned Yield:
    • It's important to have a planned yield for each of your crops. This determines your production estimate on your P&L Report throughout the year.
    • Enter a yield amount for each field by clicking on "Add Yield" 
    • Two options may appear: Custom Yield or Most Recent.  
      • "Custom Yield" can be any number - either total or per acre
      • "Most Recent" is the yield from that field for the last time it was planted to the crop.  Note: You must have prior data in Harvest Profit to use "Most Recent"
  4. Enter an Actual Yield:
    • When harvest is complete you have a few options for entering yield:
      • John Deere Operation Center:
        • If you're integrated with John Deere Operations Center, click Add Yield, then choose Operation Center to import the total yield for the field directly from Operations Center.
      • Inventory Yields:
        • If you want to use the inventory from your Inventory page in Harvest Profit, click Add Yield, then choose Inventory. 
      • Manual Entry:
        • Alternatively, if you have recorded yield data (e.g., scale amounts on your farm or data from a different data collection tool), you can manually enter a Custom Yield amount. For instance, if you know your actual yield was 134, you can enter that value.
    • This will update your production on the P&L Reports page to reflect the actual amount harvested for the crop season.
