Your Finances, Linked to What They're Actually For.

You've been recording expenses and revenues in LiteFarm. But until now, they floated. A soil amendment purchase. A harvest sale. No way to tell the system which crop or animal they actually belonged to.

This update changes that.

Link what you spend and earn to your farm

You can now associate any expense or revenue with a specific crop on your farm, a specific animal or group, or mark it as a general farm cost when it doesn't apply to either.

On the revenue side, this also means you can now record income from animal sales directly. Previously, revenue was limited to crops only.

The attribution happens when you record the transaction. It's part of the flow, not an afterthought.

Allocate a single expense across multiple crops or animals

Some purchases don't belong to just one crop. A bag of soil amendments split between three fields. Feed that goes to two different animal groups.

You can now reflect that exactly. Record the total, then decide how much of it goes to each crop or animal. The split is yours to define.

More ways to record what you sell

Revenue used to be recorded by weight only. Not everything is sold by the kilogram.

You can now record revenue in three ways:

• By weight, for crops or animals products sold...

• By volume, in metric or imperial units, for products like juice or oil...

• By unit, for anything you count individually: eggs, heads of lettuce, bundles of herbs..

Record it the way you actually sell it.

Why this matters

All of this feeds the profitability tile in the Insights section (Read here). The more precisely you link your transactions to your crops and animals, the sharper the picture you'll see there. More on that here. (link to insights post)

Already have transactions logged in LiteFarm? You can go back and attribute them to the relevant crop or animal directly. The only exception is custom transactions, those will need to be re-entered. Everything else, you can update in place.

As always, happy farming.
