How do I add new storages to a farm?

Introduction

A Farm can have both a Home and System storage.

Home storages are on-farm and managed directly by the Grower. Growers are able to add Home Storages to their farms.

System Storages are managed by grain warehousing companies and the visibility of your stock will depend on whether these grain warehousing companies are subscribed and registered with AgriChain. Please get in touch with us to explore the set up of an integration with a non-subscriber/non-registered grain warehousing company.

Brokers are also able to add Home Storages to LINKED Grower Farms and add stock estimates in the form of storages to an unlinked farm. 

To add a New Storage to a Farm

1. Go to the Farms section via your Profile Initials (top right hand corner of the page).
2. Click into the Farm you wish to add a New Storage to.
3. On the selected Farm's page, go to the 'STORAGES' tab and click on the '+ HOME STORAGE' green button.
4. A window will appear on the right hand side of the page with the header 'Add Storage'
5. Input and select all the relevant details and click on the 'SAVE' button once ready.
   • Available Home Storage Types: Silo / Bag / Bin / Shed / Bunker / Field Hay Stack / Silage Pit / Tank
   • Check out this article on Setting up Hay sheds as storages (click here) as it will require a specific naming convention.
6. Your New Storage will be added against your selected Farm in the 'Active Storages' tab.
7. From here, you can begin recording loads into the Storages on the Web or Mobile App.

Common Questions

How can I hide or deactivate Empty Home Storages that I am currently not using this season?

On-farm and empty Home Storages can be hidden or deactivated for the current season using the 'Delete' function in the 'Active Storages' tab. 

To note, these Home Storages are not actually deleted but are instead archived in the 'Archived Storages' tab, and can be reactivated for use if needed.
