Farmers

Farmers are the heart of your operation. The Farmers screen (under Contacts) lists every farmer with quick actions that take you straight to their work.

​

Adding a farmer

Select New farmer and fill in the shared contact fields. For farmers, two fields matter most:

• Geo location — set the farm’s exact location so GrowthTak CBF can verify field visits. Use Pick on map.
• Farm capacity — the number of birds the farm can hold, useful when planning placements.

​

Quick actions

Each farmer row shows context-aware buttons:

​

Loans if Loan module is on

When the Loan module is enabled in Company Settings, you can record money advanced to a farmer and their repayments. Each loan record has:

• Date, Amount, and Type (Loan or Repay).
• An optional Batch it relates to.
• A Remark.

A farmer’s outstanding is simply total loans minus total repayments. At GC time, GrowthTak CBF can deduct an amount from the GC payment and record it as a repayment automatically — see GC calculation.

​

One active batch at a time

A farmer can only have one active batch at any moment. When you create a batch, only farmers without an active batch are selectable. Once a batch is closed, the farmer becomes available for a new placement.
