There are 2 basic approaches to entering your mixed block data into the 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 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.
Step-by-step guide
Enter one block per variety. Follow How to Add Your Map to add a block and How to Draw Your Map to draw a block
Row Variety Method
Step-by-step guide
Add your block as usual, following the How to Draw Your Maps.
Navigate back to the field map, and use the drop-down next to the block you just created to select add row. Add in as many rows as you have in that one block.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for each block you have.
