Land + pasture identity
The map and field record should use the same name everywhere
A clear field identity connects the land shown on the map to its history, crop activity, materials, harvest, grazing events, status, and supporting documents.
What the map should make visible
- Field and paddock IDs with acreage
- Owned, rented, certified, transitional, and excluded land
- Buffers and adjoining land uses
- Water, roads, barns, storage, manure, and access points
- Permanent and temporary fencing where useful
What belongs in field history
Record prior land use, crop or forage, seed, planting, every applied material, rate, date, responsible person, harvest, yield, grazing, and the invoice, label, approval, or source record connected to the entry.
Control naming drift
Choose one field ID and use it on the map, Organic System Plan, seed searches, input logs, harvest records, grazing logs, invoices, and photos. Record renamed or combined fields instead of silently changing their identity.
