Open the plan from Harare, from a meeting, or from another country, and see what was done on the ground this morning.
The current plan, this week’s jobs and what they have cost, on a phone or a laptop, wherever you are.
Operators and foremen log jobs, diesel draws and applications on their own phones. You see them without making a call.
Capture keeps working with the data off. Everything queues on the handset and uploads when it finds a bar.
The rotation is on a whiteboard. The fertiliser order is on a WhatsApp thread. Tractor hours get worked out in the bakkie on the way to the lands, and nobody finds out the dam will not carry the wheat until it is already in the ground.
None of those are wrong on their own. They just never get checked against each other until something has been bought, planted or pumped dry. AgriManage keeps them in one place so they stay honest with each other.
A rotation you cannot buy the fertiliser for is not a plan. Neither is one your tractors cannot cover or your boreholes cannot carry.
Plan the sequence land by land, with last season’s chemistry and disease history in front of you.
Work out what seed, fertiliser and chemical the plan needs, and what it costs, before you order.
Match tractors, implements and operators to the work, and see where the week jams up.
Track diesel from the bulk tank to the job, and see litres per hectare by machine.
Know what is in your dams and boreholes, what your permit allows, and what the plan will ask for.
Twenty minutes, no slide deck. Bring last season’s rotation and we will build next season’s plan against it on the call.
