There are 2 basic approaches to enter your mixed block data into they system.
- Striped Block Method - Combine all the rows of the same variety in an area and call it a single block.
- Row Variety Method - Add the block and enter the rows of each variety individually.
Each of these approaches is described in more detail below.
Striped Block Method
This is probably the preferred method for a few reasons - you likely treat, harvest, and otherwise work all of the rows of the same variety within a block the same way at the same time. This method just asks you to break your larger block - Block A for example, into smaller blocks - Block A Gala, Block A Honeycrisp, etc. If you opt to draw the shape of these blocks on the map, you simply create an outline of each set of rows within the block - this is why this method is referred to as the striped block method.
