Default Looking for the data spreadsheet in wiki

I was told it is there somewhere, but have not located it yet.
With all of the members here, there must be a vast amount of data collected.
I am an organic grower and it would be helpful to know how my plants are performing compared to others using similar or different planting techniques.
A spreadsheet with actual data from members lets all of us know what our expectations should be for the different varieties in different zones. It will also track performance over time, and let us know who to look to for advice.

I was hoping to find a basic SS that included data collected from members.

member's name
zone
variety
date harvested
days from bloom to harvest
# of hands
# of fruit
total fruit weight
and a section to add relevant comments

There are many more categories than these, depending on how extensive the SS desired. The one I find to be the best predictor of yield and plant health for ARH is C@30 after flowering (circumference of P-stem at the height of 30 inches).

The user should be able to sort the categories relevant to them, thus having the ability to see what could be expected of a variety in their zone, or to see if their plants are performing well.

A database here would be more useful than studies we read from experiments performed in distant countries. Individually our data may be small, but collectively it is limitless.

Never seen such a spreadsheet.
