You know what’s in the block. Do you know what it costs you to hold it?
Plugs in, potted up, moved to the pad, sold in spring, leftovers held to fall. Every move costs labor and bench space. Your inventory system tracks what’s where, QuickBooks tracks the checks, and almost nobody reconciles them at the crop block.
One decision: which crops and cultivars to grow, scale back, or dropPlan Actual (on-budget) Actual (over)
Three inputs. One crop-plan decision.
What your grower already tracks
- Inventory / availability system (Nurture, Ornametrics, Picas)
- Liner & seed purchase receipts
- Labor hours by task or block
- QuickBooks or Farm Biz accounting
Honest per-block economics
- Revenue, cost, shrink, and margin per crop block
- Holding-cost clock on unsold inventory
- Cultivar-level performance year over year
- Spring pre-book vs. walk-in mix
Mid-Atlantic growers
- Wholesale B&B and container nurseries
- Retail garden centers with greenhouse production
- Southern PA and Maryland Chesapeake operations
- Owner-growers still running the crop plan themselves
AI turns grower notes, shrink observations, and holdover comments into structured block updates so crop-block margin stays current without a spreadsheet cleanup day. The grower still decides what to hold, push, or write down.
