Production

The Production Manager oversees production activities across all farms, plans daily and weekly farming activities, assigns work to Farm Managers and floating teams, and monitors progress across the farms.

• Farm Setup
  • Set up farms, fields, field areas, and rows.
  • Configure the number of plants per row, crop varieties, planting dates, and irrigation information.

• Daily Farm Planning
  • Plan daily activities for each farm.
  • Provide instructions to Farm Managers, who delegate work to their respective supervisors and workers.
