# Entering events data: Crops

## This document illustrates a thorough, step-by-step guide for the accurate entry of structured crop events.

### **Introduction**

The launch of the MRV Data Platform 2.0 enhances the grower enrollment experience by ensuring greater accuracy, predictability, and scalability throughout the data input process.

This article offers comprehensive guidance on the precise input of your **crop events**, covering both commodity and cover crops.

It is advisable to input your **crop**** data** before addressing any of the subsequent stages. This will ensure that the crop and crop year date range is accurately recorded, allowing for a label that is clearly displayed in the subsequent stages.

 Users have the flexibility to input data at any stage of the process, independent of the completion of any particular stage.

### **Crop year**

The date range (years of data) for the required data is specified within the stage description. Please ensure that you input data for any crops that have been harvested or terminated within the period specified in the header.  
   
![](https://help.regrow.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-14-2025-08-42-12-1443-PM.png?width=670&height=152&name=image-png-May-14-2025-08-42-12-1443-PM.png)

The crop years will be automatically displayed in the data table.

![Screenshot 2025-04-15 104500](https://help.regrow.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-04-15%20104500.png?width=670&height=238&name=Screenshot%202025-04-15%20104500.png)

The **crop year** labelwill automatically populate upon the entry of the commodity crop and harvest dates.  
![Screenshot 2025-04-15 104644](https://help.regrow.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-04-15%20104644.png?width=466&height=260&name=Screenshot%202025-04-15%20104644.png)

The data is automatically sorted upon entry, organizing the **crop years** in a chronological order, with the most recent crops positioned at the top of the list. The date range for a crop year extends from the harvest of the current commodity to the harvest of the preceding commodity.

### **Entering data**

1. Begin by entering the required data into the appropriate cells. The drop-down menus offer an efficient search function, facilitating the swift identification and selection of the required inputs.
   
   **What if my crop is not present in the dropdown selection?**
   
   The dropdown only includes crops that are presently modeled. If a user’s crop history includes an unsupported crop, they should remove that field from registration during the Fields Stage.
   
   ![Screenshot 2025-04-15 104857](https://help.regrow.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-04-15%20104857.png?width=373&height=242&name=Screenshot%202025-04-15%20104857.png)
2. Input the **planting and harvest dates** either manually or using the date picker (select the calendar icon).
   
   ![Screenshot 2025-04-10 135559](https://help.regrow.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-04-10%20135559.png?width=363&height=352&name=Screenshot%202025-04-10%20135559.png)
3. Data entry cells will become accessible automatically upon the application of a specific crop usage. For **commodity crops**, the cell for entering harvested residue will be enabled for input.

### **Adding cover crops**

To incorporate additional events, such as cover crops, please select the "Add event" button situated at the top right corner of the table.

![Screenshot 2025-04-15 094639](https://help.regrow.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-04-15%20094639.png?width=670&height=146&name=Screenshot%202025-04-15%20094639.png)

For **cover crops**, the termination method cell will be activated for data entry.

![Screenshot 2025-04-15 093600](https://help.regrow.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-04-15%20093600.png?width=670&height=82&name=Screenshot%202025-04-15%20093600.png)

### **Adding fallow periods**

1\. Select **"Fallow"** under the crop type drop-down menu.

2\. Please input the dates during which the field was fallow. This will indicate that no commodity crop was cultivated during that specific period within the crop year cycle.

- For the **planting date** of fallow periods: Provide your best approximation of when a commodity crop would normally have been planted, had this field not been left fallow.
- For the **harvest date** of fallow periods: Provide your best approximation of when a commodity crop would normally have been harvested, had this field not been left fallow. This date can also be interpreted as the day preceding the commencement of agricultural practices in preparation for the subsequent commodity crop.

### **Entering data for perennial crops**

1. For perennial crops that are planted to provide year-round ground cover, enter the crop as a cover crop and set the **crop usage **to cover. 
2. For perennial crops of **alfalfa, grass, hay,** or **pasture**, that are planted with the intention of harvesting as the main crop for the field, follow these guidelines:
   
     1. Set the **crop usage **to commodity
     2. For the **planting date,** enter the date closest to when plant comes out of dormancy for the year 
     3. For the **harvest date**, enter date of the final cutting or when plant goes into dormancy for the year
     4. (If applicable) For **yield**, enter the total yield for the full non-dormant period or growing season (all cuttings total)
     5. For **residue harvested**, enter the amount of residue that his harvested and removed from the field at the end of the growing season.

 

**NOTE:**

Regrow's platform will automatically simulate 2 cuttings at evenly spaced intervals between the **planting** and **harvest date** for "commodity" perennial crops. The cutting events are simulated as follows:

- For **alfalfa** and **hay** crops, we will assume that all grain and 75% of leaf and stem are removed from the field.
- For **pasture** and **grass**, that all grain and 75% of leaf and stem are cut and applied back to the field as green mulch.

 

**Validations:**

1\. Crop events (or crop cycles) cannot overlap. If two crop events overlap completely (100%), a validation alert will appear to indicate the conflict. Please note that crop events with less than 100% overlap will not be flagged.

2\. This applies to overlapping commodity crop events, as well as instances where a commodity crop overlaps with cover crop events.

3\. Crop cycles entered with excessively long cropping periods will be flagged.

### **Saving and editing your data**

- Upon completing each data entry, it is essential to click the save button to secure your input and prevent any loss of information before proceeding to the next stage.
- Data can be modified at any time by selecting the edit (pencil) icon or by double-clicking on the cell. After making the necessary adjustments, be sure to save your changes to ensure they are recorded.
- Data rows that were added in error can be efficiently removed by using the delete button.
- **Once the data has been successfully saved, the crop cultivation information will be updated accordingly, as reflected in the first column of the table, under "Crop year".**

![Screenshot 2025-04-15 102523](https://help.regrow.ag/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-04-15%20102523.png?width=670&height=309&name=Screenshot%202025-04-15%20102523.png)

- Data rows added through the "Add event" button will seamlessly integrate into the corresponding crop year.
