Game Plan in SKY

Game Plan is a set of tools available for both the sales staff and grower. It enables a collaborative approach to creating a successful plan for the growing season by streamlining data gathering, order execution, and reporting between sales staff and grower.

The Game Plan for the next growing season begins as the prior year is closing. 

  • To what field will each crop be planted?
  • What Crop Chemistry?
  • What was successful this year?
  • What needs changed?

This information allows sales staff to capture it in Agvance and formulate a strategy with the grower for the upcoming season.
