All of that would be fairly simple to set up in a spreadsheet program. Wouldn't even take much work with the equation functions that are possible in a spreadsheet. I'm not sure about the calendar output and graphic display, unless you would be okay with a list of the dates...

Basically my point is that it doesn't sound like you need to go out and buy something or become a programmer yourself when the spreadsheet can do it.

Greetings to all,

I'd like to have a calendar (software) that would allow me to enter varietal names and a small amount of additional info. (like whether hybrid, organic, etc.) with planting dates and expected days to maturity.  My vision is then that the calendar would automatically generate expected harvest dates (perhaps with choice of graphic display) and so be a good tool for: 1. estimating market readiness, 2. projecting holes in cash flow and therefore when we need to plant various additional crops to fill in gaps and 3. figuring how far off our maturity times are from stated times to allow better planning in future.  

Does anybody have or know of anything like this?  If so, is it actually worth the data entry time?  (I am aware of the adage "Be careful what you wish for...")

Thanks!

Best wishes,

Karen
