The Sower's Field • Fall Stewardship • Workbook

Unit 1: Storage Logic

"Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field..." — Proverbs 24:27

"Lord, teach me to number my jars and my bins. Grant me the diligence to protect the provision You have provided for my family."

Lesson 1.1: The Inventory of Abundance

1. Full Audit: Perform a complete inventory of one storage area (e.g., the root cellar or the freezer).

Item Name	Quantity (Lbs/Jars)	Harvest Date	Storage Location

2. Space Architecture: Draw a floor plan for your root cellar or pantry. Label the "Cold Zones" and the "Accessible Zones."

Creation-CRP: The Repair Bench

The Broken Data: You find a bin of potatoes where one potato has become "The Rot"—it's soft and smelling like decay.

The Fix: Remove the rotten potato immediately. Wash the potatoes that were touching it. List 2 reasons why a Steward must "Check the Storehouse" daily:

Lesson 1.2: Sustainability Math

3. The Run-Rate Calculation: If your family eats 3 pounds of potatoes per week, and you have 60 pounds in the cellar, how many weeks will the provision last?

60 lbs / 3 lbs per week = ________ weeks!

Will this last until May 1st (approximately 30 weeks away)? [ ] Yes [ ] No

4. Condition Monitoring: Record the environment data for your primary storage area.

Temperature: _________ °F | Humidity: _________ %

Is this ideal for "Armor" crops (45°F / 90% hum)? [ ] Yes [ ] No

Signet Challenge: The Master of the Cellar

Task: Create a "First-In, First-Out" (FIFO) system for your pantry. All older jars must be moved to the front, and newest jars to the back.
