FarmData2

FarmData2 is an application that supports the operation and certification requirements for small organic farming operations.

Description

FarmData2 is a web application for recording and reporting on crop and livestock production within the context of small organic farming operations. Crop production records include seeding, transplanting, harvest, cover crop, compost, fertilization, irrigation, pest scouting, and spray activities. Livestock production records track animals from birth to slaughter or sale and include pasture moves, periodic and veterinary care, and logging of egg production. Records of packing, distribution, and customer invoicing are also maintained. All records and reporting features are designed to closely align with organic certification requirements and to support the certification and recertification process.

History

FarmData2 is both a second edition of its predecessor, FarmData, and the integration of two related projects FarmData and AnimalData. These projects were conceived and built by Tim Wahls, Matt Steiman, and many students to support operation of the Dickinson College Farm. The FarmData2 project was initiated as a part of curricular redesign in the Computer Science Department at Dickinson College. It is now an active part of several courses in the curriculum. It provides students in these courses with early and sustained opportunities to learn and practice modern software development within the context of an open source software community.
