Fields Area

The Fields Area menu displays paddocks in order of increasing mapped area, with your smallest paddocks listed first.

To view a particular paddock, simply click the paddock tile to navigate directly to it.

You may notice that the mapped area in Cropwise Imagery is smaller than the true paddock area. This is because the SPACE™ service maps away from non-pasture-based objects, including troughs and fence lines, as well as trees and hedges, as these can impact the measure of pasture cover.

Enabling Editing Rights

To edit paddock boundaries and names, you will first need to gain access to this feature by requesting this directly from the SPACE™ Support Team (contact 0800 772 234 or [email protected]) . Access is for a set period of up to 48 hours. The changes made to your farm will be reflected in the next available satellite report. Any changes made within Cropwise Imagery will not automatically reflect within MINDA® Land and Feed, which will require similar changes to be made.

Editing Paddock Name and Boundaries

To edit a paddock name or to adjust a boundary, select the edit button. A warning message may appear notifying you that editing a paddock boundary can impact the availability of Planet imagery. Select ‘Confirm’ to proceed with edits to paddock characteristics.

At the end of your 48-hour access period, the SPACE™ Support Team will ensure the availability of Planet-sourced satellite images is maintained for your farm.

Note that changes in total mapped area may result in a change to your monthly subscription charge.
