Effective budgeting and planning is a recognised feature of the most productive and sustainable farmers in the United Kingdom. With changing subsidy support; high agricultural price inflation; and performance uncertainty from climate change, the importance of planning and budgeting has never been greater. Nevertheless, the vast majority of farmers do not regularly carry out planning and budgeting on their farms.At the heart of this lies a technological challenge: to carry out effective planning and budgeting, farmers must be able to handle and interrelate hundreds of production variables, to build a meaningful picture of likely outcomes. Or, they are left planning at the very highest level of aggregation, which becomes a meaningless exercise in practice. There are no effective intelligent planning and budgeting tools available for farmers today.Developments in foundational data technologies and cloud computing, alongside growing farm data and understanding of analytical value, mean it is now becoming possible to face this complex technological challenge.We propose a 12 month project, led by the farm data analytics leader YAGRO, in collaboration with two high performing farming companies, Brixworth Farming and RH Topham & Sons. The project aims to deliver a working, commercialised web-service feature to the UK arable farming community; allowing intelligent multi-year planning and budgeting, and thereby helping farmers test, optimise, and track their farm strategies. Not only would this help short-term seasonal productivity by optimising performance; it would also support farmers to transition through change, whether that be reacting to climate change through cropping adjustments, or meeting Net Zero ambitions through regenerative farming practices.

有效的预算和规划是英国最具生产力和可持续发展的农民的公认特征。不断变化的补贴支持;农产品价格上涨;由于气候变化带来的绩效不确定性，规划和预算的重要性从未如此之大。然而，绝大多数农民并没有定期对农场进行规划和预算，其核心在于技术挑战：要进行有效的规划和预算，农民必须能够处理数百个生产变量并将其相互关联，从而对可能的结果进行有意义的描述。或者，他们被留在最高层次的综合规划，这在实践中成为一种毫无意义的做法。目前，农民还没有有效的智能规划和预算工具。基础数据技术和云计算的发展，以及不断增长的农业数据和对分析价值的理解，意味着现在可以面对这一复杂的技术挑战。我们提出了一个为期12个月的项目，由农业数据分析领导者YAGRO领导，与两家高绩效的农业公司合作，布里克斯沃思农场和RH Topham & Sons。该项目旨在为英国可耕地农业社区提供一个有效的商业化网络服务功能;允许智能的多年规划和预算，从而帮助农民测试，优化和跟踪他们的农业战略。这不仅可以通过优化绩效来帮助短期的季节性生产力;还可以支持农民通过变化进行转型，无论是通过调整作物来应对气候变化，还是通过再生农业实践来实现净零目标。
