Tags
Tags are a way to label a Grower, Farm, Field, or Planting and then search by that "Tag" from the List or Map View. For example, if you wanted to see which Growers are "Todd's Growers" then you would create a Tag called "Todd's Growers" and append that tag at the Grower level to each Grower that belongs to Todd. Then you can search for that tag in the List or Map view and it would return a list of Todd's Growers.
