Thanks for posting. These are super helpful. Once they are posted we can also embed the models in our posts and use them for future tool postings. The farmhack collection of other sketchup models is here [http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=cc34dd5b3d6df3291e32d9fc07262782&ct=mdcc](http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/cldetails?mid=cc34dd5b3d6df3291e32d9fc07262782&ct=mdcc)

Could you post your sketchup files to the 3d warehouse? I would be happy to add them to the Farm Hack collection already started.

I agree that a common "trunk" for farm practice record keeping is needed - that can have "branches" for all the various type of analysis that a farm might want to do along the way. As you mention it doesn't make sense to enter the same data in several systems throughout the year. Other spreadsheet products might be considered too - Open office and google docs spreadsheets for example. Google docs/drive has a mobile interface that would make editing in the field fairly easy. There are now lots of mobile spreadsheets and mobile excel, - the question I suppose is integration. I think that integration of enterprise analysis tools with the field planning and records keeping will become inevitable at some level - and in the future may be facilitated by farm hack tools like http://farmhack.org/shop/apitronics to auto populate fields or http://farmhack.org/tools/ifarm-imaging-agricultural-research-and-management or provide an up to date visual reference to spreadsheet data without even getting into georeferenced images and GIS etc. Here is a list of the related tools listed so far on Farm Hack http://farmhack.org/tools/enterprise-budgets-lists-downloads http://farmhack.org/tools/open-enterprise-budget-organic-eggs http://farmhack.org/tools/oilseed-oil-meal-and-biodiesel-cost-calculator http://farmhack.org/tools/crop-planning-software Gocrop.com out of UVM is also coming along for nutrient management analysis. It has a mobile interface and may become open source as it evolves.
