That could be just as illegal as fixing prices.

That is my question too. For your market, I think I would make the simplest plan I could. Maybe something like
Tomatoes.... Assorted varieties from small to large
Beans ... Pole type beans
Carrots ... Long orange types
and go on like that. I agree with Cole Robbie that giving more than basic info could possibly cause problems down the way. Yes, I can understand how the market may want to have things a bit more professional, but I don't think they need to know exactly how much, what, and your prices for stuff.
I would hate to see you put in a whole crop of something and then them come back later and say , " Oh we have too many bean sellers at the moment, you have to wait on your crop." We all know that crops wait for no person. And what happens when bugs, varmints or weather conditions cause a loss of crops and you plant something else? Will you not be able to take your yield to the market if it is not on your plan?
I would contact the head person that said you need a plan and ask him exactly what he wants on that paper, then I would decide exactly what info your willing to share.
Than if you really want to see how your doing, you can get something more professional.
