Farms/Fields
The Farms/Fields section consists of two tabs: Farm and Field. The first thing you need to
decide is how you are going to define your farming operation; this can be based on size,
layout, or how the land is owned.
Before entering any information, consider the layout and size of your operation. If it is
large, or if the fields are located far apart, you might want to create separate farms and
enter the information by areas. Breaking up the land into manageable farms produces
better displays on the farm map and provides shorter pick lists for the equipment operator.
Note: Keep farm and field names generic so that the name will span all years
and crops. For this reason, it is best to keep years and crops out of the name;
instead, use location or owners (ex. Smith’s Farm or North Forty).
Farm Setup
A farm is a group of fields which are located near each other. This grouping of fields
reduces the length of the GreenStar Display pick lists, and allows for reasonable visual
location and access of fields on the farm map. Most users will set up their farms based on
geographic proximity (recommended). However, users who collect data for others may
choose to create separate farms for each client.
The Farm tab is directly linked to the Field tab, as all fields located within your defined farm
will need to be added to the Field tab.
Any of the information can be edited after you enter it. To do so, simply highlight the text
and type over it with the new information. However, do not add new farms by typing over
old ones as each farm will need a separate tag number and these are only assigned when
New is selected.
To make a farm inactive (or active) refer to page 46.
