Crop Rotation Check
When you create a planting plan, FarmManager checks the planned crop in real time against the previous main crops on the same field. Violations of configured rotation rules (e.g. oilseed rape within 4 years of the previous one) surface with severity — info, warning or violation. Monoculture is detected automatically from three consecutive plantings onward. Custom rules per crop can be added freely.
03
Catch Crops & Greening
Flag planting plans as catch crops for greening and DüV Annex 4. Pick the termination method — frost kill, autumn/spring mulching or autumn/spring incorporation — and the carryover is used automatically in the fertilizer demand calculation. Catch crops are correctly skipped in the rotation chain, so they don't break it.
04
Harvest Documentation & Yield
After the season, capture the actual harvest date, harvested quantity, quality grade (e.g. bread wheat, feed grain), water content and harvest notes. Yield per hectare is computed automatically from quantity and field size and surfaces in the statistics as a cross-year, cross-crop comparison.
05
Conditionality (GAEC)
Keep track of EU conditionality requirements (GAEC – good agricultural and environmental condition) and document compliance per field.
06
GAEC Findings by Field
FarmManager checks every parcel against the EU conditionality standards GAEC 1, 2, 4, 5/6 and 9 and lists each issue right where you work. Findings appear per field in the conditionality tab and farm-wide in a holding-status overview, colour-coded by severity (info, warning, violation) so the most urgent problems stand out at a glance. Each finding names the standard and the exact reason — for example arable land kept as grassland past the 5-year mark that must become permanent grassland, a missing or too-narrow water buffer strip, an erosion-prone field without minimum soil cover, or a sensitive permanent grassland flagged against conversion.
07
Two-Year GAEC Snapshot Compare
FarmManager captures an immutable yearly snapshot of each field's GAEC profile — one record per field and year that is only ever written and read, never edited. Pick any two years and see a live field-by-field diff of all 13 conditionality attributes (land-use category, sensitive grassland, wetland and peatland flags, erosion risk class, water buffer strip and width, minimum soil cover, eco-schemes, area and more). Changed values are highlighted and dates, decimals and eco-scheme sets are compared correctly, so you can prove exactly how a parcel evolved between application years.
