Fonterra splits the Feed and Crop sections into two parts on their portal, but the underlying data in Trev comes from the same set of records — your Feed module, your feed product catalogue, and (for crops) your Land Use Area events from the Land module.
The numbers come from:
Feed consumption events drive total amounts fed each season
Feed purchase, sale and transfer events drive the imported vs exported flow
Land Use Area events (Land module) drive crop area, sowing dates, harvest yields and crop fate
The Trev feed product catalogue drives product names, categories, suppliers, dry-matter % and ME
Crops
Crops grown on your home platform — sown, harvested, or grazed in situ — captured from your Land Use Area events. Only crops associated with a Land Use Area are picked up; standalone events that aren’t part of a Land Use Area aren’t included.
Cropping activity (Yes / No). Marked Yes if there’s at least one applicable Land Use Area event during the season.
For each crop, Trev shows:
Crop type: The product name as recorded in Trev’s feed catalogue.
Crop area: The total area of all Land Use Areas of this crop type, in hectares.
Cultivation method: Defaulted to Conventional. If the crop was actually Direct Drill or Minimum Tillage, you’ll need to adjust it on the Fonterra portal before submission.
Month sown: The earliest Cultivate or Sow event associated with this crop’s Land Use Areas.
Tick the months you applied nitrogen fertiliser to your crops: Not yet auto-populated. Trev records fertiliser applications at the paddock or whole-farm level rather than per-crop, so we can’t yet attribute N applications to a specific crop. You’ll need to tick the appropriate months on the Fonterra portal yourself.
Was this crop grazed or harvested? (Yes / No): Marked Yes if there’s at least one Harvest event for this crop type during the season. If the crop was grazed or harvested, Trev also shows:
Crop yield: A weighted-average yield across all Harvest events for this crop’s Land Use Areas (weighted by area).
Crop fate breakdown: The percentage of the crop yield that went to:
Eaten by dairy cows — amount fed to milking-herd mobs, as a percent of total yield
Eaten by other animals — amount fed to non-milking-herd mobs (beef, sheep, etc.), as a percent of total yield
Exported or sold — amount sold or transferred out, as a percent of total yield
Stored or carried over — the remainder (total yield less the other three categories)
If a crop figure looks off, the place to fix it is the Land Use Area for that crop (area, sowing or harvest events) or the underlying feed events that drive consumption (for the crop fate breakdown).
Imported supplementary feed
Feed brought onto the farm during the season — purchased or transferred in — and fed to your animals. Covers everything from PKE and silage through to in-shed grain.
Activity (Yes / No). Marked Yes if there are any Consumed feed events for supplementary feeds during the season. Feed being stored or carried over is excluded.
Per feed product, Trev shows:
Type: The feed type as recorded in Trev, mapped to Fonterra’s corresponding type.
Category: The Fonterra feed category that best aligns with this feed (e.g. silage, concentrates, hay).
Supplier: Sent as “Not specified”. Trev doesn’t track a single supplier per feed product (the same feed often comes from multiple sources across a season), so we leave this blank for you to fill in on the Fonterra portal if needed.
Total amount fed: The total kilograms of dry matter across all Consumed events during the season, expressed as tonnes of dry matter (tDM). If this feed also appears in the Crops section above, the harvested-crop amount is deducted from what’s reported as imported here, so the same kgDM isn’t double-counted.
Is this a Dry Weight?: Always Yes - Trev converts all feed values into tonnes of dry matter before reporting.
If a total fed looks off, check your Consumed feed events for that product across the season in your Feed module.
Feed exported off-farm
Feed grown on the farm that’s been sold or moved off-platform. Reported net of any inbound activity for the same product.
Activity (Yes / No): Marked Yes if there’s a net positive outbound flow for any supplementary feed during the season — calculated as Sales + Transfers Out − Purchases − Transfers In.
Per exported feed product, Trev shows:
Category and Type: The Fonterra category and type that best align with this feed in Trev.
Total amount exported: The net tonnes of dry matter exported, calculated as above. If you bought back more than you sold during the season, this feed won’t appear here.
Is this a Dry Weight?: Always Yes — all feed values are stored as tonnes of dry matter.
If an exported figure looks off, check the sale, purchase and transfer events for that feed product over the season.
