The Challenge?
Harvest Decisions Shouldn't Depend on Phone Calls and Spreadsheets
Most hay growers are managing crop cycles, field treatments, and harvest logistics across scattered notebooks, phone calls, and memory. When the press operator rings asking what's ready, there's no quick answer.
The result? Missed delivery windows, misidentified yields, and bales that arrive with a history.

What's Included
Everything you need from paddock to press in one module
Field Map & Crop Portal
Register your fields with details. Map growing areas, assign crop varieties, and maintain a living record of what's planted where, accessible from any device, any time.
Crop Cycle Management
Log planting dates, growth stages, and estimated harvest timelines per field block. Keep press operators and exporters informed without a single phone call.
Treatment & Input Logging
Record pesticide applications, fertilizer schedules, and water events in a structured digital log. Meet export compliance requirements without hunting through paper records.
Local Weather Alerts
Receive location-specific weather alerts within your grower portal. Plan harvests and deliveries around incoming conditions before they become costly surprises.
Press Availability View
See exactly when your local press facility has open capacity. Confirm delivery slots on the platform.
Harvest Yield & Quality Logging
Log actual bale yields and quality scores directly from the field at the point of harvest. Data is immediately visible to press operators and linked to the outbound shipment.
Traceability Tag Generation
When a harvest lot is confirmed, CeresGrid automatically creates a unique traceability tag that accompanies the bales through pressing, loading, and export, providing buyers with a verified field-to-container record.
Delivery Confirmation & Tonnage Tracking
Confirm when hay arrives at the press facility, log accepted tonnage, and record any quality rejections, all in one step that updates every connected stakeholder instantly.
