  • The Official Area will automatically calculate once you have mapped your field (see ‘Mapping a Field’).

  • If the size used for planting is less than the total area of the field, enter the Working Area in the named box.

  • If there are any notable ditches in the field, select the most appropriate tick box option.

MAPPING A FIELD

  • To map a field, select Draw New Field Boundary in the map on the right hand side of the page.

  • On the map screen, click and drag to the location of the field.

  • To map the field, click on the outside boundary to add a waypoint and continue adding waypoints until the boundary is complete. Complete the boundary by clicking on the first waypoint you made.

  • The field area will be filled in blue.
