Growing berries is labor-intensive and having the ability to monitor and control costs is key to ensuring an optimal return:

  • Evaluate acres per hour alongside your hourly labor and machinery costs to get a realistic view of your cost per acre and total costs.
  • Track the downtime and associated cost when machines are idle such as a broken mower.
  • Identify improvement opportunities including wasted time at refill stations.
  • Benchmark your team against past performance and industry standards to better hold them accountable.
  • Plan and organize all farming activities to direct resources where they are needed.
