Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure:

• You have access to a computer (recommended) or a mobile device.

• You have created a CropX account. If you do not have one yet, click HERE. 
  

• You have created a farm for your field to be placed under.
  

• From your dashboard, select the green + button in the top-right corner.
  

• Create a Farm to organize your Fields.
  

• Notes:

  • You can create multiple Farms to organize Fields by location.

  • It is recommended that your Farm and Field names match the naming structure used in other precision tools (for example, CNH, Trimble, or JD Ops). This helps keep your data consistent and organized.

Troubleshooting

• If a Soil Sensor is installed outside a Field boundary, it appears as Unassigned and does not provide field-level data or insights such as satellite data, growing degree days, or irrigation prescriptions.
  

• When you draw a Field around an unassigned Soil Sensor, the sensor automatically links to the new Field.
  

Most Field settings can be updated at any time, including:

• Crop

• Soil type

• Irrigation type

• Farm assignment
