Planting & Harvest Schedule Builder & Field Activity Log
A done-for-you farm automation built for the Farm Manager, connecting Twilio, Jotform, and Airtable so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
Based on crop selection, field acreage, seed population rates, and the planned planting window, this automation generates a field-by-field planting schedule with equipment requirements and operator assignments.
As planting progresses, operators submit brief daily field logs via mobile form, and the farm manager sees a live map of completed versus remaining acreage in real time.
When harvest begins, the same system tracks field-by-field yield data as the combine reports it, compares actual yield against projected bushels, and flags underperforming fields for agronomic review, turning a spreadsheet that lives on one person's laptop into a shared, always-current operational picture.
- Airtable or Google Sheets (field schedule and activity log)
- Jotform (daily field log)
- Zapier or Make.com
- Twilio (operator task notifications)
- Google Maps or farm mapping tool (field visualization)
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Done by hand, this depends entirely on a farm manager remembering to check in, update records, and follow up, with no safety net if something slips. It's the kind of work that quietly eats hours every week.
With this automation
- Low-stock and reorder alerts before you run out
- Vendor and subcontractor confirmations that chase themselves
- Preventive maintenance scheduled by usage or date
- Work orders and project milestones that update stakeholders
