If you've used Carbon by Indigo's software in the past, you will notice that we've made a lot of new changes this year. These changes are meant to simplify and expedite the data collection process so that you can get paid for Carbon Credits with less effort.
Data Entry by Crop Type
We'll start by establishing your crop rotation for each field. Because many growers consistently manage certain crop types in the same way year after year, we will collect data based on each crop in your rotation.
For example, it is common practice to apply nitrogen before a corn crop, but no nitrogen before a soybean crop. Rather than go field by field and enter the specific fertilizer for each year and field's corn crop, you will tell us how much nutrient you generally applied to your corn. We will then automatically apply that data to the corn years in whichever fields you select. We'll do the same for any other crops you grow.
Manage a crop type more than one way? No problem. You can create as many crop plans as you need to and then just select the fields those plans apply to.

What if I filed a field in the past?
All fields that were previously filed and generated carbon credits will have their historic data transferred to the new data entry experience, so there will be no need to create new historic plans. For these fields, you will simply enter the details for your "annual crop plan," which should correspond to the most recent crop year.
