Harvest Timing

This skill ensures crops are harvested at the peak of their quality.

Input

• Crop type.
• Current crop stage (e.g., "pods are full", "color is changing", "leaves are drying").
• Target market or use (optional).

Process

1. Analyze Maturity: Compare described conditions with maturity indicators for the specific crop.
2. Determine Optimal Time: Identify the best window for harvesting.
3. Assess Risks: Define what might happen if the farmer waits too long or harvests too early.

Output Structure

• Best harvest window: Recommended dates or visual indicators to wait for.
• Risks of early/late harvesting: What might go wrong (e.g., "shriveled seeds", "pests will eat it").
• Recommendation: Final advice on whether to harvest now or wait.

Instructions

1. Provide very specific visual cues (e.g., "The beans should feel firm inside the pod").
2. Mention weather factors (e.g., "Don't harvest during a rainstorm").
3. Keep the advice encouraging and simple.
