Field Plan
157
Record Keeping
Field Plans are crop programs which have had a field assigned to them; a field plan can
be adjusted to fit the needs of the targeted field.
Once created, the field plan will then be used in the GreenStar Display during field work;
recorded field data from the plan and the display will populate the Field History.
Because the data in a field plan automatically prepopulates the GreenStar Display pick
lists, time can be saved by not having to scroll through each screen picking selections. In
addition, user entry error can be reduced because the tasks and operations were
determined in the office. In addition, it can serve as an instruction sheet for the operator so
they can verify that the correct tasks are being performed.
Data contained in the field plan will populate the Record Keeping Profitability report (refer
to “Profitability Plan Report” on page 279 for more information).
You may change the plan to compensate for specific requirements in the field, however it
may not be necessary. If no changes are made to specialize the plan, it will be identical to
the crop program.
Note: If you edit the task data here, it will not affect the Setup information.
Conversely, if you edit a task (or operation) in the Setup tabs after you have
assigned the task to a crop program or a field plan, those changes will not
update within the program or plan. You need to delete the changed element
from the program or plan, and add it back to get the updates.
Most of the time you will begin by creating Crop Programs. However, if you have a field
that has unusual requirements that no other fields would have, you can create a field plan
without first having a crop program. If you decide to create a plan this way, follow the steps
in creating a crop program (page 154), but select Record Keeping>Field Plan instead -
as the steps are identical. Usually, a crop program is used first to avoid repetitive selection
of the same tasks.
