Add separate crop types for different classes of field beans. Pinto, white, black, kidney beans are specifically different crops and are NOT interchangeable. Grouping and inventorying these as one crop is unpractical.

@Guest Thank you for the reply. We didn't want to get too granular and wanted to keep the classifications simple to start. We would look to do the same for Beans and Peas if this solution fits what other users are asking for. Thanks again!
What you have there would work fine for my farm. I only grow large green lentils and red lentils but some farmers also grow small green lentils and I believe there is also a medium green lentils class as well. I don't know how much overlap there is in the industry with farmers raising all the different classes.
Hi @Guest@Guest@Guest We are testing out seperating lentil crop types into classes and wondering if this solution meets your request. Please see below screenshots:
@Guest Hey guys, thanks for your ideas and comments. @Guest apologies, your idea was not acted on. We are exploring breaking out Peas, Field Beans and Lentils into classes and making them their own crop types. Ex, Red Lentil, Green Lentil. This should help the real-world scenarios of how these crops are tracked. We will report back when we have an update. Thanks and sorry for the miss!
I tried to get them to do this for the different classes of lentils (reds, large greens, small greens, etc.) a couple years ago. We went back and forth with a bunch of texts about how they needed to be separate inventories but I couldn’t get them to understand. Good luck with the beans!!
