In crop details it asks for “total annual yield weight" and "annual yield estimates by percentage". Do I need to fill both sections?
Both sections need to be filled in. The total annual yield weight is necessary to calculate the assessment results for the year you are assessing (the current evaluation year). The yield estimates are approximate and help to scale the data and get a results prediction for the full lifecycle of your crop. We do not have default data for any crops included in the Cool Farm Platform that may help to pre-fill these estimates but are trying to get hold of such data by the user community.

The tool asks for liquid fertilisers and pesticides to be given in weight (e.g Kgs, tonnes) and not volume (e.g mls, litres). Is there something i'm doing wrong?
We don't currently have a liquid function so we take an approximation that 1Kg is 1L. This is in our pipeline for future development.
