Override a field's acreage when the boundary doesn't reflect what you actually farmed — drowned-out areas or unplanted acres, for example. FarmQA calculates acreage from the field boundary by default. A custom value replaces it in the field list and on scouting reports, and in application and yield calculations.
A custom acreage applies to the selected growing season only. In other seasons, the field uses the acreage calculated from its boundary.
