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.
