Setting up Perennial crops

Go to the Crop Diary -> Configuration -> crops tab and then click the Add button as below:

Fill in Detials of the perennial crop and ensure the "Is Perennial" tick box is ticked.

Also ensure the associated varieties are entered as well.

If you already have existing trees, you first need to create the Crop and variety records as above and you will then need to go to system setup -> Farms and Fields  and select a Field (or Paddocks or Orchards etc) and then click the Perennia Crops tab as below:

Then click the add button

Then fill in the details for the Perennial crop and ensure you enter the season established and when the Perennial crop is no longer in the selected paddock or field, enter the season retired.

Assuming Perennial crops have been created (from the Create a Perennial section on the top heading), if you need to record the planting of new Perennial crops and record the cost of the planting, you will need to go to the Cropping module -> Crop Diary or Season view and click the add job button. 

Select the Area(s) where the crops or trees will be planted.

Then select the Perennial crop(s) to be planted bt clicking the crop types button

On the planting details, select crop and enter all planting detils including the cost for each plant.

Depending on how you plant the perennials, whether by machine or manual labour, select either the Machinery Operation or Manual Task to record both the method of planting and the actual planting cost.
