Crop calendar directory

Planting windows. Harvest windows. By state. By crop.

The reference farmers actually use. 900 state-crop calendars anchored to USDA hardiness zones, NOAA frost-date norms, and your state's land-grant extension service for variety-level guidance. Updated for the 2026 season.

Climate is local. Treat these calendars as anchor points, then verify against your county and your soil temperature reality. Every page links back to your state extension service.

Sources & trust

Where this data comes from.

  • USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map (2023 update) — for state-level zone assignments.
  • NOAA / NCDC climate normals — for typical last-spring and first-fall frost dates.
  • USDA NRCS plant materials & land-grant extension publications — for crop-level agronomic data (soil temp, GDD, frost tolerance, common pests & diseases).
  • State land-grant extension services — every page links directly to the relevant extension. Variety recommendations live with extension trial reports — we don't republish them, we point at the source.

Calendar windows are computed from a hardiness-zone × crop offset matrix using widely-published USDA frost-date norms. They are flagged as “estimated” — accurate to within a typical county's climate band, but not a substitute for soil-temp measurement on your fields.

Calendars are the floor. Soil temp is the truth.

Bield: Farm pulls live soil temperature from weather stations in your county and tells you the day your field actually clears the threshold for your target crop.
