Build your harvest task allocation.

How to build your harvest task allocation

1. 1

   Describe the job

   Plan harvest tasks around field dates, crew availability and equipment dependencies.

2. 2

   Review the first version

   Choose how the farm coordinator records the field and how the farm manager reviews the next step.

3. 3

   Refine the views

   Ask First to adjust the fields and views for the people who will use the app.

4. 4

   Test before sharing

   Walk through the process with a sample record and check who owns the next action.

What to include in your harvest task allocation

• Keep the field in context

  Keep field, planned date, crew availability, equipment dependency, assignment and completion together so the next person can understand the request or record.

• When the next step needs a decision

  Two fields need the same trailer on the proposed harvest day. Expose the shared-equipment conflict and record a revised allocation before confirming both tasks.

• Keep completion visible

  Keep an assignment proposed until its crew and equipment are available.

• Choose what each person needs

  Give the farm coordinator a working view and the farm manager a review view. Keep field and planned date attached to the decision as the work moves between them.
