While CropYear is intended to span one crop cycle, it has no inherent implication as to what point in the cycle StartDate should correspond to. For field operations, it is defined as beginning at the point in time immediately following a harvest and approximated as November 1st. For processing, it is defined as beginning at the point in time immediately preceding a harvest and approximated as September 1st.
