MyPlot has always let you record a price when you log a harvest, so your season totals reflect real value rather than just weight. The catch was that you had to know the price yourself and type it in every time. Now MyPlot suggests one for you — built from your own history first, then real regional pricing, and an AI estimate as a last resort for anything genuinely obscure.
- Blank price fields on every harvest
- Guess a number, or skip it entirely
- Season value totals full of gaps
- Price suggested the moment you name the produce
- One tap to accept it, or overwrite it yourself
- Every harvest counted towards season value
The suggestion works in a strict order, so you're always getting the most trustworthy number available for that particular crop. If you've logged and priced that produce before, MyPlot uses your own most recent figure — nobody knows what you actually paid, or what you'd have paid, better than your own records. If you haven't, it checks a table of real supermarket pricing for your state before reaching for anything else.

Recent price: AUD 7.00 per kg (AI-generated rough guide)Use recent price
That's where the AI estimate comes in — for produce that isn't in your history and isn't common enough to have a regional price on file yet. Think fig, mulberry, or anything a bit more unusual than tomatoes and lettuce. MyPlot generates a rough guide, clearly labelled as an AI estimate rather than a sourced price, and remembers it for next time so it doesn't need to ask again for 30 days. After that it refreshes automatically, so the number doesn't go stale as prices move.
Thirty days is enough time that you're not paying for a fresh estimate on every single log of the same crop, but short enough that the number keeps pace with the season rather than locking in a guess from months ago. If a price ever looks off, you're never stuck with it — overwrite it directly in the form, same as any other field.
Whichever tier the suggestion comes from, it's exactly that — a suggestion. Tap "Use recent price" to accept it, or just type over the unit price and unit if you know better or want to record something more precise, like a farmers' market price or what a friend paid you for extra zucchini. Nothing is saved until you confirm the harvest, and every suggestion tells you plainly which tier it came from, so you're never left wondering whether a number is a real price or a rough guess.
We deliberately went with real supermarket pricing over something like farmers' market data for the regional tier — it's a more honest proxy for "what would this have cost me to buy" than the wide, noisy range you'd get from market stalls. The AI tier only exists to fill the long tail: the fig tree, the mulberry, the odd heirloom variety that's never going to show up on a supermarket shelf but is still worth knowing the value of.
This is wired into Quick Log too, so it's not just the full harvest form that benefits — tap a recent planting, mark it harvested, and the same price suggestion shows up whether you're standing at your desk or logging from the garden. Try it next time you log a pick, especially for something you've never priced before.
