Crop Cycle as currently envisioned supports only the use of an inferred amount per area unit of measure of plants. There is no manner of specifying actual plant count in the case of forests, or banana plantations, or other large plant crops which allows and actually require an inventory. Same issue applies to managing livestock, where you need to manage individual animals and even differentiated animals with tags.
Crop cycle is: "the doctype where currently growing plants are managed"
Livestock cycle is: "the doctype where an actual live animal and all that happens to it is tracked and managed"

Challenges
This can create a problem for those farmers dealing with fixed units, and eventually for those with serialized plant or animal amounts.
Possible solution to Problem
[ ] Add a section in Crop Cycle where the user can specify actual plant amount (field name: current inventory?) as an integer field
[ ] Add the option to manage a Crop by individual items.
[ ] Add another option to Crop, if above option selected to track the presence of serialized Items.
[ ] The standard ERPNext inventory management can handle serialized plants or animals.
