Submit a field for harvest review (grower) – FarmQA

Chemical compliance checking and harvest review are available to selected accounts. If you don't see these features, contact your FarmQA representative.

Submit a field for harvest review

When your season records are complete, you submit your fields to your field representative for review. Submitting a field is your attestation that the records are accurate and ready to be checked. Once you submit, your records are locked — your field rep reviews them and either approves the field for harvest, sends it back for corrections, or marks it as not harvestable.

You can submit one field at a time or submit multiple fields at once.

Before you begin

Make sure all your application records, irrigation records, and other season activities are entered. Required fields on application records — applicator license number, weather information, and temperature at time of application — must be complete before submission is possible.

Run a compliance check before submitting

The Submit for review action is blocked if no compliance check has been run on the field in the current season. To unblock it:

Run a compliance check on the field. See Run a compliance check on a field.
Once the check has completed — regardless of the result — the submit action becomes available.

If your field is non-compliant, you can still submit it. Your field rep will see the compliance result when they review. The block is on the absence of a check, not a failing result.

Submit a field

Open the Fields list and locate the field you want to submit.
Select the field to open it, then select Submit for review.
Review the confirmation prompt. Select Confirm to complete the submission.

The field's status changes to Submitted. Your records are now locked — you can still view them, but you can't edit application records, irrigation records, or other in-season data until your field rep sends the field back to you or you contact them to reopen it.

Submit multiple fields at once

In the Fields list, select the checkboxes for each field you want to submit.
Select Submit for review from the bulk action menu.
Review the confirmation prompt. Select Confirm to submit all selected fields.

Each field's status updates to Submitted once the action completes.

After you submit

You can't reopen a submitted field yourself. If you need to make a correction after submitting, contact your field rep and ask them to send the field back to you.

Your field rep may:

Approve the field — records stay locked; the field is harvest-ready.
Return the field — your records are unlocked so you can make corrections and resubmit.
Mark as not harvestable — the field has been flagged as ineligible for harvest, typically due to a compliance issue that can't be resolved.

Frequently asked questions

Q: Can I undo a submission?
A: No. Once you submit a field, only your field rep can reopen it. Contact them directly if you need to make a correction.

Q: What if I haven't finished entering all my records?
A: Submit only when your records are complete. Once submitted, you can't add or edit in-season records until the field is returned to you.

Q: What does "locked" mean for my records?
A: You can still view all records on a locked field. You just can't edit or add application records, irrigation records, or other season activities.
