Sales to supply aggregators (Harvest 2027):
Estimated volume of this crop you plan to sell to supply aggregators in Harvest 2027. You can select more than one aggregator and allocate a percentage to each.
This is not a commitment to sell to any aggregator - it's only used by LENs to estimate volumes for reporting and accounting purposes. Your data will not be shared.
Crop name Area covered (ha) Average yield (t/ha) Estimated production (t) (calculated) Chemical N input (kg/ha) Organic N input (kg/ha)
