• In the Home page, click on the blue Add button in the lower right-hand corner of the screen (pictured below). 
• In the Create fields pane on the left-hand side of the screen, fill out the following field information (pictured below): 
  1. Use the Organization dropdown to select the folder you want to store this field in. 
  2. Enter the Field name.
  3. If desired, enter a Legal description for the field.
  4. Use the Crop/variety dropdown to assign a crop and crop variety to this field.
  5. Use the Plant date calendar menu to set a plant date for your field.

• When you've entered the appropriate information in the Create fields pane, select the appropriate Drawing tool to draw your map. The drawing tools available to FarmQA users are: 
  
  • Add polygon: click or drag your mouse around the field boundary. Finish drawing the polygon by either clicking on the last point you set or by clicking on the first point again (pictured below). 
    • Note: if the middle vertices are clicked, more vertices will be created. This is useful for creating more complex field shapes.

• • Add circle: click where you want the center of your field to be and drag your mouse to the full extent of the field. This drawing tool is primarily used for drawing fields setup to be irrigated with a circle pivot. 
• Once you are done drawing the shape you can zoom in to "fine tune" the boundary. This can be done by clicking on the vertices and moving them or by clicking the small circles at the center point between two vertices to create more.
  • NOTE: if you need to draw more complex fields, including those with holes or those that have multiple polygons, refer to the following articles: 
    
    • Drawing fields with holes 
    • Drawing fields with multi-polygons (i.e. multiple disconnected pieces)
• Click on the blue Save icon at the bottom of the Create fields panel to save your field.
