thanks Richard.  I've been using an open source version of Microsoft Excel for the past 5 years and had bought the crop planning book last year as it seemed really highly reccomended.  What I'm finding however is that the spreadsheet templates they give do not have formulas and I'm having trouble linking sheets.  My vision is that if all sheets are property linked that next year when I change the amount of CSA members I have that sheets will automatically calculate the proper information.  The book seems to want you to copy and paste data which is fine for this year but when the CSA numbers or restaurant projections change I'll have to recopy and paste all over again.  Maybe what I should have asked for in the last e-mail was a good spreadsheet tutorial website!!  thanks again for the response,

This may sound silly but I have yet to find any software that replaces MS Excel (or similar like Google docs and iWork) or pen and paper.

We are moving to Google docs because its so darn simple to access, edit, share, and migrate.  We'be already started using it to track sales and inventory for our winter market.  Will be doing the sane to manage deliveries and planting schedules.

I was just wondering if anyone can reccomend a good crop planning website or software?  I've been going through the new COG "Crop planning for organic vegetable growers" book but have been fairly disappointed so far.  Any suggestions, thanks

Jen
