Review the assumptions before you buy
Read this first: the decision boundary
This pack is built for Kenyan maize growers, farm managers and producer groups who want defensible season records instead of memory-based estimates.
Its practical outcome is: Know the season cost, saleable harvest, storage loss, break-even position and net receipt using your own field records.
It is a recordkeeping and decision-support system. It does not replace a current official requirement, a signed contract, a lender's terms, or advice from a qualified professional. Prices, eligibility, rules and market access can change. Every material figure should be supported by a dated quotation, transaction record or authoritative source in the workbook's Sources tab.
The operating workflow
- Define the exact plot and season
- Build a dated activity and input budget
- Record field work when it happens
- Measure harvest, drying and storage losses by lot
- Record buyer, unit, grade and net receipt
- Compare downside, working and upside prices before selling
Work in this order. A dashboard result without the underlying records is not evidence. If a step does not apply, mark it not applicable and explain why rather than deleting the control.
