The acreage of the fields in your FarmQA account can be manually adjusted. By default, FarmQA displays the area of a field based on the boundary within the map. However, this value can be manually updated per growing season for more accurate records. If there are drowned out areas or unplanted acres, for example, those acres can be subtracted from the field total to adjust spraying and yield calculations. See instructions below on how this can be done.

NOTE: The newly edited acreage value will be used in the field list view and on scouting reports. This assignment is only made to the field within the selected growing season. When growing seasons are updated, this value will default to boundary size again.
