This article will demonstrate what will need set up in Traction Business as well as Traction Conservis in order to implement the Beta Grain Contract Management add on.
1. What do I need to have set up in my Traction Business account?
2. What do I need to have set up in my Traction Conservis account?
Traction Business Set Up
The following information is required in Traction Business-
- Farms
- Fields
- Commodities
- Crops
- Assign Crops to Fields
- Storage Locations (Customer Storage Location toggled on)
1. Farms and Fields can be set up manually or imported into Traction Business by integrating with John Deere Operations Center or Climate FieldView.

2. Next you will need to ensure that you have set up Crop and Commodities (also known as a Harvest Product). Crops are high level groupings for a set of Harvest Products, while the Harvest Product will be the product you are growing and harvesting on a field.

3. Now you will need to assign Crop Zones. This action will assign the Harvest Product to fields for a particular crop year.
How do I use crop zones and why are they important?
Creating multiple crop zones for the same field is not supported. If this situation occurs, the first crop zone created in Traction Business will exist as a field in Conservis.
4. Now you will need to have storage locations set up. The instructions are linked below, but please note that users will need to toggle on a setting when creating storage locations if they are intended for Customer Inventory. It is called 'Customer Storage Location'. See Image below.
How do I add and edit storage locations in Traction?
As mentioned above in #4 users will need to toggle on 'Customer Storage Location' for inventory that is intended for customers only.
Traction Conservis Set Up
The Conservis Support team will be setting up the Conservis portion of your Grain Contract Management add-on by syncing select Traction Business data onto the Conservis platform. You can reach their team directly by calling 612-424-6314 or by emailing conservis-support@tractionag.com
