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 GrowTak 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:
ButtonWhen it showsWhat it does
AccountThe farmer has an active batchOpens that batch’s dashboard.
New batchThe farmer has no active batchStarts a new batch with the farmer pre-filled.
BatchesThe farmer has any batchesLists all of the farmer’s batches (past and present).
LoanLoan module is onOpens the farmer’s loans and repayments.
PaymentsPayment module is onOpens the farmer’s payment history.
The fastest way to start a flock is from here: find the farmer and press New batch — the farmer is filled in for you.

​
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, GrowTak 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.
