Hello, JDE Connection listeners! It’s Chandra and Paul here, your friendly podcast hosts, ready to dig into another episode packed with JD Edwards insights. This week, we’re diving into agribusiness in a continuation of our series on JD Edwards core module feature functionality. If you’ve been wondering how JD Edwards supports winemakers, farmers, and anyone combining ingredients to craft the perfect product, pour yourself your favorite beverage and listen in as we walk you through what JD Edwards can do.

Blend Management: Not Just for Smoothies

When we talk about blend management, we’re not just talking about your morning coffee or smoothies (though we wouldn’t mind testing those blends). This module shines in the wine, spirits, and juice industries, helping track every component from barrel to bottle.

Imagine this: you’re managing wine in oak barrels. Blend management keeps tabs on details like composition percentages, quality control, and even regulatory compliance. And the best part? You can simulate trial blends without touching a drop of the real thing. It’s like a winemaker’s “what-if” tool, saving time, reducing waste, and ensuring consistency.

Grower Management: From Seed to Shelf

Next, we tackled grower management—a must-have for anyone managing crops, land, or busy harvest seasons. This module gives you a comprehensive view of your farming operations, tracking everything from maturity dates to field activities like spraying and pruning.
And if you’re in the broccoli business (yes, we’re looking at you, oven-roasted veggie fans), this module makes it easy to track different packaging formats, ensuring your inventory is spot-on. Bonus: cost management features let you calculate true production costs, so you can keep those pesky budgets in check.

Grower Pricing and Payments: Keeping It Fair and Efficient

Managing grower payments? We’ve got you covered. This module handles complex contracts, quality-based pricing, and multi-party payments with ease. Whether you’re paying bonuses for top-notch crops or scheduling payments based on market prices, JD Edwards ensures accuracy every step of the way.

Midewesternism of the Day – A Special Holiday “Blend”

With Thanksgiving around the corner, we couldn’t resist a little holiday humor. Ever wonder what to do with those “spare parts” you find in a turkey? Well, Chandra has your gizzard covered with a few suggestions on how some in the Midwest consume every part of the bird.

We hope you enjoyed our agribusiness overview! Whether you’re crafting wine, managing crops, or just looking for ways to streamline payments, JD Edwards has the tools to help you succeed.
