This is where you will go to manage your team, create fields and boundaries, track the products you use throughout the production cycle and more. The plan tools allow you to proactively direct upcoming fieldwork and maintenance. Here you can pre define work for your operators to reduce errors and in field setup time. The map is your place to monitor your farm. Here you will see tabs for your fields and equipment. You can select a field in the fields list or on the map.
