Field Maps
The color of either boundary can be modified on the Maps Preferences screen.
Changes to either type of boundary are automatically saved to the JDOffice
database.
Crop Boundary
The bright blue line (default color) outlining the crop is the crop boundary, and
it is considered an individual layer of the field map. If you harvest or use
sensors, a crop boundary will automatically be created for your fields (some
fields might have two crop boundaries - one created from .gsy data, and the
other created from .gsd data).
The crop boundary is used as an outline for your yield, moisture, and wet
weight contour maps - yield outside the boundary is ignored if you do not adjust
the boundary to include it.
Crop boundaries can be used as the basis for creating field boundaries.
Field Boundary
The black line (default color) outlining the field is the field boundary. The
boundary is considered an individual layer of the field map (the only layer that
is not dependent on year), and is there to help you recognize the shapes of
your fields. The field boundary is used as an outline for your application plans
- polygons that extend past the field boundary are automatically severed at that
line. In addition, field boundaries are used as the outline of soil type maps.
If you do not have field data, you will not have field boundaries until you create
them. There are two ways to do this: manually drive a boundary around the
perimeter of the field using the GreenStar Field Documentation Tool and
unload this information into JDOffice, or have JDOffice automatically create the
field boundary from your field’s crop boundary (or any other layer).
Adjusting a Boundary or Drain Tile
JDOffice provides you with the tools to adjust your boundaries. Because
boundaries impact more layers than just themselves, the more accurate they
are, the more accurate your maps will be.
The latitude and longitude of each boundary point will display in the message
line at the bottom of JDOffice as you select or move the point. For greater
accuracy, you may want to zoom in when adjusting boundary points.
