About Seasons
Seasons allow you to record information against the correct cropping year. The season is displayed in the top right corner of your screen.
The growing season is the period of time running from the establishment of the crop through to the harvest and sale of the crop. Using seasons allows you to allocate costs to the correct crop.
Seasons are colour coded in the drop down selector:
Future Seasons - Purple
Current Season - Green
Previous Seasons - Yellow
TELUS Crop Management will default to the active season when it is opened.
