How to Add Growers, Farms, Fields, and Boundaries in FieldOps

FieldOps users can follow this video to create the grower, farm, field, and boundary structure used to organize agronomic data. It explains why this structure should be established before importing georeferenced machine activity or task data. You will learn how to add a grower, associate a farm with that grower, create a field under the correct grower and farm, and draw outer and inner field boundaries. The video also explains the difference between inner passable and inner impassable boundaries and shows how to confirm the completed field setup.

From Setup, select Fields and then Growers. Click Add, enter the grower name, and select Save or Save and Add Another. 2) How do I add a farm and associate it with a grower? Select Farms from the Setup menu, click Add, choose the correct grower, enter the farm name, and save it. 3) How do I create a field under the correct grower and farm? Select Fields from the Setup menu and click Add. Verify the grower and farm selections before entering the field name. 4) How do I draw an outer field boundary in FieldOps? Select Draw under Outer Boundary, search for the field location, and choose the Polygon tool. Click around the field perimeter, close the polygon, and select Finish Drawing. 5) What is the difference between an inner passable and inner impassable boundary? An inner passable boundary identifies an area that can be driven through during field work, and map coverage is not affected. An inner impassable boundary identifies an area that cannot be driven through, and map coverage is not recorded within it. 6) How do I confirm that a new field was created? After saving the field information, refresh the FieldOps webpage. The field should appear under its associated grower and farm and on the Fields tab with its boundary. Technical Glossary --FieldOps: The software used in this video to organize and display agronomic data by grower, farm, field, and boundary. --Agronomic data: Field information generated from machine activities or tasks. --Georeferenced data: Data associated with a known geographic location on the Earth’s surface. --Grower: The top-level record used to organize associated farms and fields. --Farm: A record associated with a grower that contains related fields. Field: A designated area associated with the correct grower and farm. --Outer boundary: The outlined perimeter of the field. Polygon tool: The map drawing tool used to place points around a field and create its boundary. --Inner passable boundary: An area within a field that can be driven through during field work without affecting map coverage. --Inner impassable boundary: An area within a field that cannot be driven through and where map coverage is not recorded.
