Combinable Crops: Case Studies
Worked examples showing how the module is used in practice.
The examples below are illustrative worked cases built from the module design. Named customer references are published only with written consent.
Worked example
How a business like yours would use Combinable Crops
The problem: Wants to know which fields will make milling spec before committing the extra nitrogen.
What they do
- Set the rotation and crop mix
- Select varieties against market specification
- Budget inputs and set the nutrition target
- Drill and establish
What changes
- Tonnes marketed in specification
- Premium captured per tonne
- Rejection rate
This is an illustrative worked example built from the module design, not a customer reference. Named case studies are published only with the business's written consent.
In the field
Combinable crops, as it actually looks
Photography from working UK holdings alongside the interface that records it. Every frame below is a commissioned slot: the brief is stated until the photograph is taken.
Combinable Crops — a walkthrough
A working pass through combinable crops: entering the record once, and watching it appear in the evidence pack, the calendar and the scheme application without being typed again.

- 0:48 Entering the record
- 2:05 Where it appears next
- 3:20 The evidence pack
Photography slots state their own brief until the shot is commissioned, so the layout never shifts when real images arrive.
What we are hearing
The problems people describe to us
These are composite statements drawn from user research conversations, not attributed customer quotes. We publish named references only with written consent.
I am not short of software. I am short of one place where the same field means the same thing in all of it.
The scheme closed on a Tuesday evening. I had the application half built. Nobody told me the budget was nearly gone.
We farm on both sides of the border. Everything takes twice as long and I still cannot see the whole position on one screen.
Audit week costs me three days. Every single record they ask for is already written down somewhere on this farm.

Measurement
How you will know it is working
The module reports against these measures from the day it is switched on, so the value is demonstrable rather than assumed.
- 01Tonnes marketed in specification
- 02Premium captured per tonne
- 03Rejection rate
- 04Nitrogen use efficiency
- 05Break crop contribution to rotation margin
Benchmarking
How this compares with businesses like yours
A cohort is only useful if it is genuinely comparable, so it is built from farm type, soil grade, region and scale rather than from whoever happens to have signed up. Your own figure is never shown to anyone else.

Government cannot currently see, in real time, where its own farming budget is going. A scheme was closed overnight because the cap had been reached, and hundreds of millions of pounds went unspent over three years because replacement schemes were not ready. The evidence for change is government's own.
