FARM MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND MANAGEMENT METHOD THEREOF

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to the field of agricultural production management, in particular to a farm management system and management method thereof.

BACKGROUND

With the development of modern agriculture, more and more types of crops can be planted across regions and grow counter-season under controlled planting conditions, providing people with fresh crops in different seasons and regions. Therefore, farm managers can choose to plant suitable crops according to the predicted future needs of crops to increase the income of farm crops.

For farm operators, they may choose to plant crops based on current forecasts, but there are uncertainties in the planting process. For example, due to the weather, droughts and floods, a harvest may not be guaranteed. At the same time, since there are many factors affecting the market demands for crops. After the crops are harvested, demands for seeds may be small. For farm production personnel, long-term hard work may not be sustainable.

At present, for farm managers, in order to facilitate the production and management of the farm, the same type of crops on a large area is usually planted, and no other types of crops are planted. Such planting managements make the farm's single agricultural product more critical, increase planting risks, and lower the utilization rate of arable land. All these events can reduce the overall income of the farm.

With the increasing urbanization process, fewer and fewer people own arable land, and it may be difficult for those who actually demand agricultural products to grow the crops according to their needs. In recent years, as food safety problems have become more and more serious, more and more people, especially those living in cities, hope to obtain their crops under specific requirements, such as crop varieties, whether to use pesticides, fertilizers, agricultural conditions, the use of machinery. For people who do not own arable land, such as white-collar workers, even if they rent farm land to grow crops, they may found it difficult to find the time and energy to manage crops.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The following description is used to disclose the present disclosure so that those skilled in the art can implement the present disclosure. The preferred embodiments in the following description are only examples, and those skilled in the art can think of other obvious variations. The basic principles of the present disclosure defined in the following description can be applied to other embodiments, modifications, improvements, equivalents, and other technical solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure.

Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the present disclosure, the terms “longitudinal”, “lateral”, “upper”, “lower”, “front”, “rear”, “left”, “right”, the orientation or positional relationship indicated by “vertical”, “horizontal”, “top”, “bottom”, “inner”, “outer”, etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and to simplify the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, so the above terms should not be understood as limiting the present disclosure.

It can be understood that the term “a” should be understood as “at least one” or “one or more”, that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, and in another embodiment, the number of the elements can be more than one, and the term “one” cannot be taken as a restriction on the number.

Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4 of the accompanying drawings of the specification of the present disclosure, a farm management system and a management method of the farm management system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure are explained in the following description. Farm owners, farm managers, and farm operators (for the sake of explanation, collectively referred to as farm managers hereinafter), lease all or part of the farmland through the farm management system. Customers or renters take a lease of the arable land of the farm manager through the farm management system, and choose to plant appropriate crops according to their current planting needs. The farm manager measures the current leasable arable land on the farm, such as the area of the leasable land in the current farm, the types of crops that can be grown on the land, the leasable period, and the content of various elements in the soil.

As shown in FIG. 1, at least one leasable arable land 110 of a farm 100 refers to arable land that can be leased out by the farm manager. The leasable arable land 110 not only refers to land where no crops are grown, but also includes arable land used to grow crops. Correspondingly, the farm may also include non-leased land 120, such as arable land where crops are being produced. It is understandable that the arable land of the farm may change with time and with the progress of lease transactions. The non-leasable land 120 of which a lease has expired will be transformed into the leasable arable land 110. Preferably, once the leasable arable land 110 is leased, it cannot be leased to others as leasable land for the same crop for a period of time. The farm management system calculates and manages the use and status of the leasable arable land 110 and the non-leasable land 120 according to the lease plan of the farm 100.

The leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100 may be divided into one or more farming areas based on various factors such as the current arable land type, soil area, leasable period, types of crops that can be grown, and elements present in the soil. Farm manager can cultivate corresponding types of crops in a timely manner according to the type of the farming area of the leasable arable land 110.

As shown in FIG. 2A, the farm management system obtains land information, lease information, and current crop planting conditions of the leasable arable land 110 of the farm, and divides the leasable arable land 110 of the current farm into at least one lease area 201. The lease area 201 includes lease areas 201a, 201b, 201c, 201d, etc. It is understandable that, the leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100 may divide the leasable arable land 110 into a plurality of lease areas 201 according to the topography, location, arable area, or land type. The lease area 201 of the farm 100 can be used to grow at least one crop. For example, the arable land in the agreed lease area 201 can be used to cultivate food crops, such as crop A and crop B, and can also be used for cultivating vegetables, such as crop C, crop D, etc.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the farm management system obtains land information, lease information, and current crop planting conditions of the leasable arable land 110 of the farm, and another alternative way of dividing the leasable arable land 110. The farm management system divides the current leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100 into at least one lease area 202, where the lease area 202 further includes lease areas 202a, 202b, 202c, and 202d. It is understandable that, the farm management system divides the current leasable area 110 based on the demand for crops. When dividing the leasable area 110, each part of the leasable area 110 can be used to plant at least one crop. The lease area 202 corresponding to different types of crops can overlap another overlap, that is, the same leasable area 110 can be planted with more than one crop at the same farming time. As shown in FIG. 2B, the overlapping parts of the lease areas 202a and 202b can be used to grow crops suitable for planting in the lease area 202a, and can also be used to grow crops suitable for planting in the lease area 202b.

It is worth mentioning that, the boundary of the lease area 201 and the lease area 202 of the farm 100 and the size and shape of the lease area are merely exemplary here, not an actual description of the real farm. Therefore, those skilled in the art can understand that, the boundary of the farm 100 and the shape and size of the arable land area are determined according to actual conditions and are not to be limited here.

Those skilled in the art can understand that the area division of the leasable arable land 110 can be performed by current farm managers. For example, the farm manager can plan the current farm arable land to adapt to the cultivation of specific crops. The farm manager divides or reconstructs the farm 100 artificially into one or more lease areas 201. For example, in order to adapt to the growth habits of crops in different seasons, the farm manager constructs a specific crop, or more than one. Preferably, the area of the leasable arable land 110 is divided according to the adaptability of crop planting and growth. The farm management system can obtain the regional division information of the current leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100 by the farm manager, so that the customer of the leased arable land can select suitable planting arable land area based on the information of the leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100.

One or more renters or customers lease part or all of the leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100. The farm management system matches the planting area of the crops according to the customer's planting requirements, such as the types of crops to be planted, the lease period, the lease area, etc., combined with the current land conditions of the leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100; or the farm management system can be based on the customer's planting needs and combined with the leasable arable land 110 of the current farm 100, matching the leasable arable land 110 of the farm suitable for planting current crops to the customer's planting needs. In short, the arable land resources of the farm 100 are integrated to solve the farming needs of customers, and the arable land of the farm 100 is leased.

As shown in FIGS. 3A to 3C, based on the information of the leasable arable land 110 of the current farm 100 and the demand of the customer for arable land, the farm management system matches the customer's needs with suitable leasable arable land. The customer can provide the farm management system with information such as the size of the arable land required to lease the arable land, the lease period, and the types of crops to be planted according to their own needs. The farm management system can select at least one lease area 201 or lease area 202 in the leasable arable land 110 for the crops of the client according to the farmland lease requirements of the customer; or the customer can select the at least one leased area 201 or leased area 202 of the farm 100 through the farm management system.

As shown in FIG. 3A, multiple customers, such as customer A, customer B, customer C, and customer D lease part of the leasable arable land 110 in the farm 100 according to their own planting needs. The farm management system integrates the rental requirements of multiple customers, and selects suitable rental planting areas for the customers according to the customer's rental farming requirements; or the customer selects the farm 100 of the area of the leasable arable land 110 through the farm management system based on his own rental farming requirements. Customer A, Customer B, Customer C, and Customer D respectively choose according to their own rental farming area requirements or the farm management system selects the customer's crops to at least one of the lease area 201 and lease area 202. It is worth mentioning that the customer cultivates suitable crops in the leased area selected or matched; or the farm management system grows and manages crops for the current customer. Each customer can plant one or more crops in the lease area 201 of the currently leased farm 100.

As shown in FIG. 3B, the farm management system integrates the arable areas and types of crops for lease cultivation of multiple customers, and selects at least one lease area 201 of the farm 100 as at least one lease customer to satisfy the customer's lease demand. It is mentioned that the types of crops that can be grown in the adjacent lease area 201 of the farm 100 are different. For example, customer A chooses to plant crop A in the lease area 201a, customer B chooses to plant crop A or optional crop B in the lease area 201a, and plant crop B or crops in a lease area 201b C. In short, the farm management system allows two or more customers to plant one or more crops in the same lease area 201.

As shown in FIG. 3C, the farm management system integrates the rental farming needs of multiple customers, and plants the same farming needs of multiple customers in the same lease area 201 of the farm 100. For example, the multiple customers are customer A, customer B, customer C, and customer D, and the multiple customers have a common lease farming demand, that is, each wishes to cultivate the same crops, which are crop A, crop B, and crop C. The farm management system is based on the current common planting needs of multiple customers, and the common planting needs of current customers are planted in the same area of the farm 100, so as to manage the growth of crops in the process of planting management. That is, the planting requirements of the multiple customers for the same crop A are planted in a lease area 201a after being integrated by the farm management system, wherein the crop B is planted in a lease area 201b.

It is understandable that the farm management system receives the leased planting needs of customers, integrates the crop planting needs of one or more customers, and selects the farm 100 according to the customer's demand for planting area and crop planting types. The appropriate area of the lease area 201 is allocated to the corresponding customer to meet the customer's demand for leased farming and to resolve the farmland cultivation of the farm. According to the arable area of the leased arable land and the types of crops to be planted, the farm management system matches the arable land with a suitable area size and suitable for cultivating the crop varieties for the current customer to meet the current customer's demand for the leased arable land for planting crops. The farm management system allocates the leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100 to one or more customers according to the lease time, leased area and planting types of the leased crops, so that the leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100 can be leased by customers to a greatest extent, which improves the income of farm owners.

As shown in FIG. 4, the farm management system calculates and manages the lease time of the customer planted in the farm 100 and the planting time of the current crops. Different types of crops have different cultivation time and different maturity growth time. The farm management system manages the customer's lease time so that it can be leased after the lease expires, so as to avoid farmland being vacant long-term. The growth status of the crops in the different regions of the farm 100 is different, for example, the growth status of the crops, the product to be harvested, the farm to be leased, the farm to be leased, the arable land to be sown, and so on. The customer can select a suitable leased farming land, choose a suitable farming time, or prepare for farming through the display status of the farm 100 in the farm management system.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 of the accompanying drawings of the specification of the present disclosure, the farm management system manages the arable land in the farm 100, provides suitable leased arable land to meet customer needs, manages the growth of crops in the farm 100, and manages payments from customers and farm managers. The customer leases the arable land in the farm 100 of the farm manager through the farm management system, where the farm manager charges the customer for renting the arable land and allows the customer to use the arable land of the farm 100. For the leased farmland, customers can freely manage the crops, such as the cultivation, growth management, and harvesting of crops; or the current farm management system assigns the corresponding staff or makes the operating equipment to manage the arable land and crops; or the farm manager of the farm 100 manages the arable land of the current farm 100 after accepting the corresponding management task. During the cultivation process and subsequent farmland management processes, the farm management system allows customers to plant and manage crops on leased farmland according to their own needs.

The farm management staff collects the customer's rental fee by renting the arable land of the farm 100. In addition, it can also receive operating instructions for managing crops sent by customers or by the farm management system, and collect remuneration for labor by completing crop planting, growth management, and harvesting. Correspondingly, the customer leases the arable land of the farm 100 in order to grow the crop products he wants. During the lease period, the customers can manage the planting, growth, and harvesting of crops on the current farm by themselves or by the method assigned by the system according to actual needs, and obtain the crops they want after the crops are received. It is understandable that the customers can grow their own customized agricultural products through the farm management system according to their own needs.

As shown in FIG. 6, the farm management system includes a farm area management module 10, a farmland lease module 20, a crop management module 30, and a payment module 40, wherein the farm area management module 10 provides one or more lease areas 201 or lease areas 202 formed after the leasable arable land 110 of the current farm 100 is divided based on the lease information of the current farm 100 provided by the farm manager. The farmland lease module 20 selects suitable farming areas in the farm 100 for the current customer based on the crop farming lease information applied or provided by the customer; or the current customer selects suitable farmland based on the rentable information of the farm 100. The crop management module 30 manages the crops in the lease area 201 or 202 leased by the customer, such as farming operations, growth management, and crop receipt. The customer pays the cost of using arable land of the leased farm to the management personnel of the farm through the payment module 40, and pays the management fee required during the growth of the leased land, etc.

In detail, the farm area management module 10 of the farm management system divides the leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100 into one or more lease areas 201, and the farm area management module 10 counts the information of arable crops, cultivation time, lease period, lease customer information, and lease area in each lease area 201. In other words, the farm area management module 10 records the data information of the current farm 100 and the crops arable in the farm 100.

Correspondingly, the farm area management module 10 further includes an area division module 11, an area cultivation management module 12, and a lease status management module 13. The area division module 11 divides the farm according to the farm data information provided by the farm manager of the farm 100; or the farm manager of the farm 100 provides information as to the divided farm to the area division module 11, divides the leasable arable land 110 of the farm 100 by the area division module 11 according to the type of crop cultivation, the cultivation time, etc. The area cultivation management module 12 records the types of crops that can be arable in each lease area 201 of the farm 100 currently, and information as to cultivation management of the crops.

It is worth mentioning that the farmland lease module 20 selects farmland areas suitable for the growth of crops for customers according to the crop cultivation information of the farming area 201 recorded in the area cultivation management module 12. The lease status management module 13 records and manages status data of each lease area 201 in the farm 100. For example, the crop planting status, arable land status, lease status, etc. of the current lease area 201.

As shown in FIG. 6, the farmland lease module 20 obtains information of the customer's leased farmland and the types of crops that are expected to be arable, and selects suitable land for customers according to the type of arable land on the current farm, to be suitable for cultivating the crops selected by the customer. The farmland lease module 20 further includes a lease information acquisition module 21, an information integration module 22, and a farmland selection module 23, wherein the lease information acquisition module 21 acquires lease information from the customers, wherein the lease information includes the size of leased arable land, the lease period of arable land, and the types of crops to be planted. The information integration module 22 integrates the lease information of multiple customers based on the lease information acquired by the lease information acquisition module 21, so as to obtain a suitable leased farmland allocation plan. The farmland selection module 23 of the farmland lease module 20 selects suitable rentable arable land for the current customer.

The information integration module 22 calculates the lease information of multiple customers acquired by the lease information acquisition module 21, to analyze and obtain a reasonable lease plan, which can not only provide reasonable use of farm land, but also satisfy the customer's demand for lease of arable land. Correspondingly, the information integration module 22 further includes a time analysis module 221, an arable land area analysis module 222, and a crop match analysis module 223. The time analysis module 221 is based on factors such as the lease period of the customer, the cultivation time of the crops, and the growth time of the crops. The time analysis module 221 preferentially integrates the crops of the same planting period and the same planting time to form a leased land allocation plan. The arable land area analysis module 222 integrates the lease applications of multiple customers, and calculates an allocation plan for the customers according to the size of the leased area, so as to maximize the use of rentable arable land of the current farm. The crop match analysis module 223 analyzes the crop type information in the customer's lease application, and calculates the crop planting plan in the lease area according to the crop planting type provided by the customer. In other words, the crop match analysis module 223 analyzes the planting position, planting ratio and other issues of the crops, so as to improve the output and recovery rate of the crops of the customer.

The farmland selection module 23 further includes a farmland allocation module 231 and a farmland selection module 232, wherein the farmland allocation module 231 allocates the customer's crops to a specific lease area in the farm 100 according to the customer's rental needs. The farmland selection module 232 allows the user to select the rentable area of the farm 100, and select information such as the size and lease time of the rented arable land.

It is worth mentioning that the farmland allocation module 231 of the farmland selection module 23 allocates a reasonable planting plan to customers according to the arable land allocation plan obtained after the integration of the information integration module 22, to maximize the use of the arable land on the farm.

It is understandable that, after the farmland lease module 20 provides the customer with a lease farming solution according to the customer's farming requirements, the customer pays the farm owner or farm manager the lease fee through the payment module 40.

As shown in FIG. 6, the crop management module 30 assists a farm manager or customer to manage crops in the leasable arable land 110 in the farm 100. In detail, the crop management module 30 assists in crop planting, growth management, and crop harvesting. The crop management module 30 further includes an information feedback module 31, a cultivation management module 32, a growth management module 33, and a harvest management module 34. The cultivation management module 32 manages the types, planting methods, planting time, etc. of the crops that need to be planted in the leased land. The customers can provide or select suitable crop seeds according to their needs, and farm managers or other personnel can operate and cultivate the crop seeds. In other words, during the planting stage of crops, the customers can plant the varieties of crops they choose or provide according to their own needs. The growth management module 33 manages the nutrient supply, weeding, and insecticide of the crops during the growth process. The customers can timely send request instructions through the growth management module 33 according to the planting requirements of the crops, and the farm manager can manage the growth of the crops in the farm according to the instructions of the growth management module 33. It is worth mentioning that, through the growth management module 33, customers can select the chemicals used in the process of crop growth, such as the type of fertilizer, the amount of use, and the type of pesticide used. The harvest management module 34 manages the harvest of the crops in the leased land, and when the crops mature, the harvest management module 34 assists in harvesting the crops, and saves the result of the harvest of the crops.

It is worth mentioning that after harvesting the planted crops, the customer can use the harvested crops through the payment module 40 to pay fees to the farm manager, such as paying farmland lease fees and crop management fees. In other words, after the crops are harvested, the customer can pay the farm manager for the crop products through the payment module 40 to deduct the rental fee, farm management expenses, etc.

The information feedback module 31 of the crop management module 30 feeds back the crop information of the customer in the farm 100 to the farm manager or/and the customer, and the customer sends management control instructions to the cultivation management module 32, the growth management module 33, and the harvest management module 34 according to the crop information fed back by the information feedback module 31. The information feedback module 31 is implemented as a camera device or other information acquisition device installed on the farm, wherein the information of the crops of the farm acquired by the information feedback module 31 is fed back to customers and farm managers. It is understandable that the farm managers and the customers can observe the growing of crops in the farm in time through the information feedback module 31, so as to manage the crops in the farm in time when the crops need to be managed.

As shown in FIG. 9, the payment system 40 of the farm management system allows the customer to pay the farm manager's rental fees, farm management fees, crop planting, and harvesting fees during the lease of farmland. The payment system 40 further includes an expense deduction module 41 and an expense payment module 42, wherein the expense deduction module 41 allows the customer to deduct the crops obtained from the harvest to deduct the cost of the customer's lease of farmland and deduct the management cost of the farm manager. When renting, the customer can also pay a certain amount of renting expenses, crop management expenses, etc., to the farm manager in a lump sum or in installments through the expense payment module 42. The farm management system may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, a notebook computer, or other suitable computing device. The word “module” as used herein, refers to logic embodied in hardware or firmware, or to a collection of software instructions, written in a programming language, such as, for example, Java, C, or assembly. One or more software instructions in the function modules may be embedded in firmware. It will be appreciated that the function modules may include connected logic modules, such as gates and flip-flops, and may include programmable modules, such as programmable gate arrays or processors. The function module described herein may be implemented as either software and/or hardware modules and may be stored in a storage device.

In one embodiment, the farm management system further includes a storage device 60, and at least one processor 50. The at least one processor 50 is used to execute a plurality of modules (e.g., the farm area management module 10, the farmland lease module 20, the crop management module 30, and the payment module 40 shown in FIG. 6) and other applications. The storage device 60 stores the computerized instructions of the plurality of modules, and one or more programs, such as the applications of the farm management system. The storage device 60 can be any type of non-transitory computer-readable storage medium or other computer storage device, such as a hard disk drive, a compact disc, a digital video disc, a tape drive, a storage card (e.g., a memory stick, a smart media card, a compact flash card), or other suitable storage medium, for example.

Referring to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 of the specification of the present disclosure, the farm management system manages the lease procedure of the farm 100 as follows. The farm arable land area is divided into one or more lease areas, where any of the lease areas can be used to grow at least one crop. The farm management system automatically divides the lease area based on the data information and the crop information of the farm 100 provided by the farm manager; or the farm manager builds a lease area suitable for the growth of crops.

The customer's lease information must be obtained. The lease information acquisition module 21 of the farmland lease module 20 acquires the data and information on farmland leased by the customer. Integration of the rental data information of multiple customers, including the size of the lease area, the length of time, and the types of crops to be grown. The information integration module 22 integrates and calculates the needs of multiple customers for lease farmland according to the data information to be acquired by the lease information acquisition module 21 to analyze a reasonable farmland lease plan. The customer's crops are matched to the corresponding leased farmland in the farm 100. The farmland selection module 23 of the farm management system allocates at least one rentable area for the customer's crops based on the lease allocation plan integrated by the information integration module 22; or the customer selects the lease area in the farm 100.

Crops in the leased farmland in the farm 100 are managed. Crops in the lease area in the farm 100 are planted according to the types of crops designated by the customer and crops in the lease area are managed according to the customer's crop management instructions. The crop products in the leased farmland must finally be harvested. The planting and growth of crops are fed back to the customers or the farm managers, so that the customers and the farm managers can manage the growth of crops by observing the growing of crops.
