What's the Best Way to Track Harvest Volumes From Field to Storage?
The best way is to record every load leaving a field with its weight, vehicle, and destination, and to confirm the weight received at storage, so the system compares both and shows losses along the way. On Jestor, this runs through Forms and a harvest loads table with calculated fields.
During harvest, volumes move fast. If loads are noted on scraps of paper, the farm cannot know how much each field produced or where weight was lost, and disputes with storage or buyers become hard to resolve.
What untracked harvest loads cost
- Unknown yield per field, which weakens next season's planning
- Losses in transport that nobody notices
- Disputes about weights with silos or buyers
- Errors when loads are added by hand
- Delayed information about how the harvest is going
How harvest tracking works
- Each load is a record with field, date, weight, and vehicle
- The receiving point confirms the weight on arrival
- A calculated field shows the difference between both weights
- A dashboard totals harvest by field, day, and destination
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Yield per field becomes known as the harvest progresses
- Transport losses are measurable
- Disputes are settled with records
- This scales from a small harvest to a multi-farm operation
| Loads noted on paper | Loads recorded and compared |
|---|---|
| Unknown yield, unexplained losses | Field and storage weights compared |
