COMET-Farm projects can be exported (only if the report has been generated) from the platform to an email address. This could be of use if a user wished to make a copy of their project or sharing a project with another user. To export a project, please watch this video tutorial, follow these instructions or using the pdf attached (follow the small square with an arrow).  

  • To export a project, users must have generated a report within COMET-Farm. 
  • An exported project will arrive in your email from info@comet-farm.com 
  • The project file will be .cmt (a sample project is attached).
  • You will only be able to view that project file within COMET-Farm by following the import project steps in the attached document. 
  • Once a project is exported, the project remaining in the account can still be modified, though the exported project will remain the same (it is not like a Google Doc, where multiple users can work on the same project across accounts).
  • Only projects with Cropland, pasture, range, orchard/vineyard AND/OR animal ag accounting activities can be exported/imported. 
  • While you can select multiple projects to export, you would need to separate those projects prior to uploading, so we would recommend only exporting ONE project at a time. 



Once you or someone else exports a completed project, you are able to import this project. To import the project, please watch this video tutorial, follow these instructions or use the pdf attached (follow the small square with the arrow).  

  • Projects imported to COMET-Farm must be the .cmt files that were exported from COMET-Farm. 
  • Users are not able to import any projects from other platforms
  • If you are trying to import an API input file, please review the API related help article and/or use the contact us section of the need help widget, and reach out the COMET-Team for assistance.

Why would someone export a project:

  • They would like to share a project with someone else without sharing log in credentials
  • They would like to make a copy of an existing project. Unfortunately, as of July 2022, COMET-Farm does not have a way to simple make a copy of a project. Users can, however, export a project, then reimport to their own account, thus making a copy of the project.
