Editing field information from the FarmQA mobile app

Certain information related to your fields can be edited from the FarmQA mobile app while you're on the go. This includes setting field entrances, planting and harvest dates, editing field shapes, and changing crops and varieties for the field. Check out the article below to learn how to learn how to use this functionality. 

NOTE: field editing functionality is still available while you are in offline mode. The only difference you'll have is that the basemap imagery will not be available, which would make it difficult to accurately edit field boundaries. All of the edits you make while offline will be automatically synced with your account when you come back online.
