Why Record Keeping is Important in Fruit Farming
Read Time:2 Minute, 5 Second
Production record-keeping is an important task for any fruit or crop farm, whether small, medium or large.
Currently, government agencies, lenders, and insurance companies are requiring better and more accurate records. Not only bushels per acre, income and expenses, but also weather records are becoming increasingly necessary.
An important tool for any Fruit or crop production farming operation, regardless of size, is having and maintaining a recordkeeping system for crop production. A common question that often gets asked is why should I keep production records? There are several reasons as follows: keeping records meets the requirements of various farming regulations; complete and accurate records help demonstrate your protection of soil, water and other environmental resources; records will help you analyze the performance of your farm’s cropping system; records may provide liability protection in the event of a complaint or lawsuit concerning your farming operation; and complete records demonstrate conformance with regulations.
The Recordkeeping System for fruit Production is designed for recording pesticide applications, nutrient applications, manure applications, animal burial and composting, irrigation, employee training, and pesticide drift management plans.

Lenders and Insurance Need your records
From the business aspect of the operation, record keeping is needed for future analysis of production methods, cropping history, and decision making. Record keeping provides valuable information concerning what worked and what did not and possibly, the reasons why something did not turn out as planned. As we all know, the best production methods and hybrids can fail due to weather conditions. Keeping daily records of precipitation and high and low temperatures is easy to accomplish and you can have a fairly accurate weather station. A high/low thermometer, rain gauge, something to record them on, and about ten minutes a day is all that is needed.
One set of accurate records should be enough to satisfy all your needs. If you keep good records of production, expenses, income, and weather, you should have all the required information for any purpose, from crop insurance to lenders to your own needs. You should be able to make informed conclusions regarding the past and to plan for the future.
Good records lead to better decisions and hopefully higher returns.

Hello there
My name is Sergey and I am a co-founder of Sweaty Quid Freelancer Marketplace just where you can buy and sell all kinds of on-line services ranging from back links and guest post to explainer videos, infographics and write-ups for your business website oxfarmorganic.com.
I believe that you and your website can seriously benefit from Sweaty Quid, whether you wish to supply your services or hire freelancers to assist you to expand your company.
I have been a freelancer on numerous marketplaces for in excess of 5 years and have had my accounts arbitrarily closed down, my revenues pocketed and I just simply had a hard time with many low quality freelancers. After much frustration, I decided to start up my very own freelance marketplace that would do things in a different way and much better.
After almost one year of caffeinne powered evenings, myself and my crew at Creative Bear Tech have built up Sweaty Quid from ground up. One month into our release we have managed to draw in a pretty good variety of high quality freelancers and an incredibly high number of repeat customers. I feel this serves as a confirmation to our success.
Sweaty Quid is a spam-free and straightforward marketplace for quality freelancers and buyers. We are rigorously banning all spammy sellers who do not pass our quality threshold and leave only the absolute best ones. Keeping up with the most recent technologcal changes, we also take cryptocurrency as one of our payment methods. Our ethos that defines us is that sometimes less is more, particularly when it comes to quality freelancers.
We are still very new in comparison to other freelance marketplaces, but we are already punching above our weight.
I would love to welcome you and oxfarmorganic.com personally to register with Sweaty Quid Freelancer Market Place!
Kind regards
