Description

For the purposes of this contract, a number of suppliers are sought to:
1) Recruit new farm businesses to Farmbench. Each business must grow at least one combinable cereal or oilseed crop in harvest years 2018 and/or 2019
2) Support those businesses in uploading their data to Farmbench
3) Validate each dataset ensuring completeness and accuracy
