This phase of crop plan design deals with growth, thinning, harvesting and regeneration. Here we will show how to set up a simple scenario of growing, thinning and growing the stand by inserting new events. New events are always inserted before the active event (highlighted in yellow).

1. Click the Move Down to Next Event button () as needed to activate the Grow  event (highlighted in yellow). You can also right-click on an event row to make it the active event and show the event dialog menu, or you can right-click the event row to make it the active event.
2. Click the Edit button () to activate the edit dialog.
   1. Enter stand ages 15 16 17 18 19 20 30  in the Grow to box. These are the stand ages at which yields will be calculated.

   3. Click OK when all entries are correct.

   2. Click OK when all entries are correct.
