Populating your Holding
This section is all about adding relevant information to your Holding, to give it the best possible start.
As you start to explore Omnia more, you’ll realise how much the different modules ‘talk’ to each other, saving you from endless data entry.
For this to work seamlessly, we need to ensure that the information Omnia has is up to date now, as we start our journey.
Below, we’ll give some guidance on the sort of information you should think about adding.
Opening Information
In Omnia’s machinery shed, you can add your power units and implements, to create operations.
In turn, these can be attributed to tasks, which will help you track fixed costs on farm.
For help setting up the machinery shed, click here.
It’s a great idea to get any historical soil analyses uploaded to Omnia.
It’s super straightforward – head to the Data module (Import), and then you’ll see a tile specifically for Soil Analysis.
Click on Import, and then select your file. Just follow the prompts from there!
If you have historical yield data, we can bring that in to your Holding.
In Omnia, we treat this as something called a ‘Map Layer‘, which is just a way of saying ‘map based information’
As with soil analysis, head to the Data module (Import), but then click on the ‘Map Layers‘ tile.
From here, you can select ‘Yield‘ from the drop down menu.
Manure Module Set-Up
You’re nearly there!
This next step may look very different for different people, but let’s take a look at the Manure module.
The videos below will run you through how to add any Livestock to your Holding, and then how to manage appropriate storage.
