http://igrow.net.au The future of Orchard Management Fri, 21 Sep 2012 07:02:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 http://igrow.net.au/?p=68 http://igrow.net.au/?p=68#comments Sun, 23 May 2010 05:08:22 +0000 sumosoftware http://igrow.net.au/?p=68 While Igrow is already a complete package our vision is to improve the system even further. The following functions are under development:

• Our new budgeting section will include default values to work from. Once one years data has been collected on the growers own orchard, this will become the default value for the next years budget. The owner can then edit where required.
• Crop forecasting is very important to marketers. We have already tested a simple forecasting model based on the number of pieces of fruit carried by a tree and the target size range.
• We believe that to remain competitive, growers need to benchmark their gross margins per hectare against the same variety produced on other orchards and in other regions. Igrow will develop a benchmarking pool between users.
