As crop rotation is a common practice, the system allows a different crop type per cropping season. For data integrity purposes, a crop type cannot be altered after a cropping season has been created. If the crop type is incorrect, delete that cropping season and add a new one.

Confirm the first cropping season is deleted prior to creating the new one - the system will prevent conflicting data entry, like overlapping cropping season dates.

Quick Tip: Crop years are determined based on the date of harvest. For example, a winter wheat crop planted in the fall of 2016 is considered a 2017 crop in the system because it will be harvested in 2017.ย
