Field notebooks that became a harvest board practice

RidgeHub Harvest Board helps growers in Vietnam turn plot-level observations into seasonal decisions they can defend at the next planting meeting.

Official name & founding

The official registered business name is RidgeHub Harvest Board Co., Ltd. The company was established in 2014 in Vinh Phuc, beginning as a small advisory desk that accompanied rice and vegetable growers through wet-season and dry-season cycles.

Early work lived in shared notebooks: transplant dates, rainfall marks, and bag counts by plot. As cooperatives asked for clearer comparisons between member farms, those notebooks became structured harvest boards — written documents that ranked plots and named the next season’s priorities without pretending every hectare behaves the same.

Today the practice still centres on walking fields, listening to farm leads, and writing findings in language growers reopen before they buy seed. We remain based at Tram Vien Thong Khai Quang, Khai Quang Ward, Vinh Phuc, close to the districts we visit most often.

How we work

Visits follow the crop calendar, not an office calendar alone. We measure what can be weighed or sketched, interview the people who know each plot by name, and separate what is known from what is still a guess.

Written deliverables stay short enough to use: ranked plots, seasonal risk notes, and a handful of adjustments the farm can afford.

Values in practice

  • Plot names before averages
  • Labour weeks treated as real constraints
  • Comparisons that criticise methods, not farmers
  • Advice sized to the next season, not an abstract ideal

People

Senior advisors lead Seasonal Field Yield Assessments and cooperative studies. Field advisors handle mid-season walks and pre-season planning sessions. Local knowledge of Vinh Phuc soils, water timing, and labour markets sits beside careful note-taking — neither replaces the other.
