How Can I Keep Track of Seeds, Fertilizer, and Crop Protection Stock?
You keep track by registering each input as a record with unit, current quantity, minimum level, batch, and expiry date, and by updating the quantity every time an input is received or applied. On Jestor, this runs through an inputs table with alerts for low stock and expiry.
Farm inputs are bought in large quantities, often before the season, and stored in several places. Without a clear record, some products expire unused, others run out at the worst moment, and nobody knows how much remains.
What untracked input stock costs
- Planting delayed because seeds or fertilizer ran short
- Products expiring in storage and being wasted
- Urgent purchases at higher prices
- Duplicate buying because nobody knew what was in the warehouse
- Inputs used without being charged to the right field
How input stock tracking works
- Each input is a record with unit, quantity, batch, and expiry date
- Receipts add to the stock, and applications subtract from it
- Items below the minimum are flagged automatically
- Expiring products appear in a list for early use
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Shortages and waste become visible before they cost money
- Usage is linked to fields, so costs are assigned correctly
- Purchases can be planned from real balances
- This scales from one warehouse to several farms
