When assigning usages to your field, you may want to add crop types which are not included in the list available. You may also want to add further detail to your crop types, such as winter or spring crops or the variety name. You can also create bespoke usages to show where crops are being grown as part of environmental schemes such as Countryside Stewardship or SFI.

Creating bespoke field usages

Web

  1. Go to the settings cog in the top right corner and choose Farm Settings

  2. Navigate to Field Usages

  3. Click "New Field Usage" button at the bottom

  4. In the Crop Type box, choose the option "Other"

  5. In the Description box, type in the field usage as you would like it to appear in the fields list, reports, etc

  6. Select a colour for your usage and hit the save button

  7. Your usage is now ready to be assigned to fields!

Mobile

  1. Go to hamburger menu (3 white lines in top left of the screen)

  2. Select Farm Settings

  3. Tap "Field Usages" then "Add new usage"

  4. In the Crop Type box, choose the option "Other"

You can create as many crop types as you need for your farm and can have multiple of the same type, e.g. for wheat you could have "Wheat - Skyfall", "Wheat - Crusoe", etc. You can assign these usages the same or different colours to generate your farm's digital, colour-coded map.
