Create & Update Tasks Faster with Smart Automation
Tasks auto-generate as you build your crop plan and instantly update when you make changes to your plantings—eliminating hours of manual data entry.
Automatically generate tasks when you create plantings
Each Growing Template in your Crop Library includes customizable task templates. As you build your crop plan, Tend uses these templates to intelligently generate the entire season’s tasks.
Set up your task templates just once, and Tend will automatically create your tasks year after year. Make quick updates to your task templates whenever needed.
Crop Library
Add rich detail to your tasks
Within your task templates, include important details such as priority level, necessary equipment and attachments, inputs and application rates, and estimated labor times.
In the task manager, add important context as you complete tasks. Note the current weather conditions, any pests or diseases observed, whether it was the final harvest of that crop, or any reasons you’re terminating a crop early.
Farming is unpredictable—Tend makes it easy to update & reschedule tasks
Since tasks are linked to plantings, any updates made to your crop plan are instantly applied to your tasks.
Need to push your sow date back a week? All dependent tasks are automatically rescheduled. Planting more of a crop? Tend recalculates your task details, including planting materials needed, harvest amounts, and estimated labor time.
Crop Planning
Automate record keeping for seamless traceability
Save valuable time otherwise spent manually updating logbooks or spreadsheets. When you complete a task in Tend, all related records are instantly updated—from input and harvest logs to yield and labor reports.
Automated record keeping and turnkey reports make compliance and certifications a breeze.

“The Tasks [feature] is just excellent. You know this is what you have to do, that's how much time you're going to spend, who does what, and you just follow it from there.”
