How Can I Compare Yield Against Targets for Each Plot?
You compare yield by storing a target yield for each plot and crop, recording the harvested volume, and letting a calculated field divide it by the area, so a dashboard shows the result against the target for every plot. On Jestor, this runs through plot and harvest tables with calculated fields.
Knowing the total harvest is not enough. The farm needs to know which plots delivered what was expected, which fell short, and what the difference might mean for management.
What untracked yield targets cost
- Underperforming plots that stay unnoticed
- Targets that are never compared with results
- Difficulty finding the effect of varieties or practices
- Little learning from one season to the next
- Weak arguments in discussions about rent, credit, or insurance
How yield tracking against targets works
- Each plot and crop has a target yield
- Harvested volume is recorded from loads
- Yield per hectare is calculated automatically
- A dashboard shows the gap between actual and target
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Problems appear in numbers rather than impressions
- Practices and varieties can be compared fairly
- Lessons carry over to the next season
- This scales from a few plots to many farms
| Total harvest only | Yield versus target per plot |
|---|---|
| Underperformance hidden | Gaps visible and comparable |
