The Batch Recommender is an easy way for farms to create batches that they regularly grow. So that the farmhand has an immediate understanding of what to do when they hit this screen, I included a prominent interaction prompting them to add their first batch recommendation.

Recommendations are based on a recipe, which is why creating a batch from absolute scratch isn’t likely. On this screen, a farmhand can search for a recipe by entering its name. Then, they select the pertinent batch details like version number, multiple (quantity), and recommendation frequency. I also included a large toggle to disable a recommendation temporarily.

Since a farm has many batches growing in tandem, it was important to enable viewing and filtering by multiple criteria and seeing what stage a particular batch was in. I designed multiple interfaces, charts, and interactions to solve for this. Paying close attention to requirements, content, and hierarchy, I designed the charts to display the right details and information based on a farm’s overall production.

Farms with lower production can see larger charts, while higher-volume farms favor compact views. Find-as-you-type filtering helps farmhands narrow down exactly what they’re looking for. Beyond this, there's a screen for viewing farm capacity visually, integrating what was once a fragmented array of third-party platforms. Together, these UX considerations help farmhands easily see relevant and specific batch details.
