# How Do I Record Weather Events and Their Impact on Crops?

You record events by logging each occurrence, such as heavy rain, hail, frost, or drought, with date, affected fields, and observed impact, and by attaching photos, so the farm builds a history that supports analysis and insurance claims. On **Jestor**, this runs through **Forms**, an events **table** linked to fields, and dashboards.

Weather shapes every harvest. When events and their effects are not recorded at the time, memory fades, and the farm loses evidence that could support an insurance claim or explain differences in yield between seasons.

## What unrecorded weather events cost

- Insurance claims weakened by missing evidence
- Yield differences that cannot be explained
- Management decisions made without learning from past events
- Impacts remembered differently by each person
- Difficulty showing lenders the risks faced by the farm

## How weather event recording works

- Each event is a **record** with date, type, and affected fields
- Photos and notes document the impact
- Impact estimates are updated as damage becomes clear
- A history shows events and yields side by side

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Evidence is collected while it is still visible
- Yield analysis can account for weather
- Insurance claims are better supported
- This scales from one property to many farms

| Events remembered later           | Events recorded with impact     |
| --------------------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| Weak evidence, unexplained yields | Documented and linked to fields |
