How and where to view contracts
Contract Explorer
A list of contracts can be found in the Contract Explorer. Select a vintage from the filter to display active contracts for that year.
Calculated costs are determined by the set cost per acre or block. If fruit costs are set per weight unit, the calculated costs are estimated based on the contracted tonnage (Est.) or if available, the historic, average yield (Avg). This will update based on Crop Estimates (CE) if entered, or else once fruit is received for that vintage.

Active contracts are displayed on the Dashboard of the Vineyard details page.
You can also find a list of all contracts listed in the Contracts tab of the Vineyard details page.
