Farmer Community is designed in significant part to help farmers keep agricultural records.
Users are responsible for entering correct, complete, and up-to-date information into the application.
Incorrect, incomplete, outdated, duplicated, or misleading records may cause calculations, summaries, reports, reminders, recommendations, or other features to produce inaccurate or less useful results.
Farmer Community does not independently verify every record entered by users and does not guarantee that user-entered information is accurate.
Users should maintain appropriate backup records for information that is important to their farming operations.
Farmer Community may provide crop management features that allow users to record and manage information about crops, planting, production, activities, treatments, harvesting, yields, expenses, or other agricultural information.
Farmers are responsible for entering accurate information into crop management features.
The application may use information entered by the user to organize, calculate, display, summarize, or otherwise process agricultural records.
We do not guarantee that calculations, summaries, reminders, or recommendations will be accurate if the underlying information entered by the user is incorrect or incomplete.
Farmer Community may provide animal management features that allow farmers to record information about livestock, animals, health-related records, breeding, feeding, production, identification, expenses, activities, or other animal-related information.

Farmer Community does not guarantee that sensor readings are always accurate, complete, current, or available.
