# Setting The Monthly Farm Targets

## This article discusses setting the monthly targets for your farm to help put your decision making on autopilot.

### Introduction

Setting monthly targets for your farm helps put your decision-making on autopilot. By aligning the application with the season and your operational conditions, you can streamline your management process and ensure optimal pasture performance.

Monthly targets provide a subconscious level of information that guides your decisions. For instance, the target cover line on the feed wedge adjusts automatically each month, aiding you with timely and relevant data.

### Monthly Targets You Can Set

At the farm level, you can set the following monthly targets:

1. Pre-Grazing Cover
2. Post-Grazing Cover
3. Average Cover
4. Growth Rate
5. Rotation Length (days)

### How to Edit Monthly Targets

1. Click on the "cog" menu item.
2. Click on "Monthly Targets".
3. Delete out all the default numbers across the lines
4. Entered your desired targets for each month. Make sure you delete the original figures first.
5. Remember to click "Save All" when you have finished.
