How does WinMax identify a field?
When you add a new field record to a WinMax project data file, you enter a unique field ID of your choosing. This ID can be up to 9 digits long and must be unique within the project file. For compatibility with other recordkeeping and nutrient management software, you can also enter an optional field name and subfield name for each field record. Finally, you can also enter each field’s FSA tract number and field number. These numbers are used by USDA-NRCS. • What crops does WinMax support? WinMax currently supports 12 major field crops. The letter in parentheses after the crop name is the crop abbreviation used by WinMax. • Corn (C) • Corn silage (G) • Soybeans (B) • Wheat (W) • Oats (O) • Barley (Y) • Sorghum (M) • Sunflowers (F) • Navy beans (V) • Black beans (K) • Sugar beets (U) • Cotton (T) Many of the pesticides and field operations used with these crops are included in WinMax’s master input list. WinMax also provides partial support for these 5 crops: • Alfalfa (A) • Clover (L)
