Practical YFS help

Guides for the work you actually do.

Short, exact paths through core farm workflows. Each guide links to the real YFS screen—not a disconnected tutorial.

How these stay useful

One workflow source, not a second set of instructions.

Guide actions use the same routes and setup checks as YFS itself. When a farm has unfinished setup, the guide sends you to the next real record instead of asking you to start over.

Getting started

Set up a farm in YourFarmStats

Create the shared farm record that keeps weather, locations, people, and operating modules connected.

Read guide
Crops

Set up crop records: areas, varieties, and plantings

Start crop records with the real place, then connect seed stock, plantings, field observations, and harvests.

Read guide
Bees

Set up apiaries, hives, and inspection records

Keep each colony connected to its apiary, inspection history, actions, weather context, costs, and outcomes.

Read guide
Bees / inspections

What to record during a hive inspection

A practical inspection record that is useful at the next hive check and when you compare the season later.

Read guide
Bees / health records

Run and record a Varroa mite check

A practical alcohol-wash workflow, plus the exact details to record in YourFarmStats so results remain useful over time.

Read guide
Bees / colony history

Record hive actions and follow-ups without losing the why

Keep treatments, feeding, queen or colony-status changes, and follow-up work connected to the hive record that prompted them.

Read guide
Bees / record design

Individual hive records versus apiary-level records

Use the apiary for shared place context and the hive for colony-specific history, actions, and results.

Read guide
Bees / seasonal review

Records that help compare colony performance across seasons

Build a colony history that helps you understand what happened before deciding what to repeat, change, or watch next season.

Read guide
Poultry

Set up poultry places and flocks

Start with a real coop, run, brooder, or temporary place so flock records can stay connected to capacity and daily work.

Read guide
Farm-wide weather

Use farm weather context without treating it as an instruction

Set a useful farm location, then read conditions, forecast, precipitation, wind, temperature risks, and freshness beside real farm work.

Read guide
Supporting records

Track time and money with farm work

Record costs, income, purchases, labor, basic inventory, and basic equipment information where they belong—without turning YFS into accounting software.

Read guide
Crops / decisions

Record harvests and make saved-stock decisions

Capture harvest results first, then compare the complete record when it is time to decide what planting stock is worth retaining.
