TIP: Farm Funds

Anticipating the Addition of Farm Funds

Plan ahead to make the addition of Farm Funds easier and more productive. When you set up your Icons in Farm Trac, consider how you want to look at your field operations records. The following are the scenarios to help you make decisions on Equipment Setup.

Do you borrow or rent equipment? If you are considering purchasing that same kind of equipment, set up the borrowed or rented equipment in your project and track the hours and acres they are used with. This information will be helpful when you are ready to purchase your own equipment.

Do you use more than one piece of equipment in the field at the same time? If so, how are you going to keep track of the usage? Consider using hours instead of acres so it coincides with your tractor hours.

Consider that when you cultivate or plow, you are in the field for the same acres but it takes more wear and tear on your tractor to plow. When hours are used, it will reflect more accurate usage of the equipment.

When you set up your equipment with these things in mind, the transition into Farm Fund$ will be smoother, enabling you to see the cost analysis on your field and equipment that you have always wanted.
