Step 2: Add Fields

Drawing Field Boundaries and Configuring Field Details

In Step 2 of the onboarding process, you define the fields that make up your farm. Fields are the fundamental analytical units in Carbonleap — every satellite metric, weather model, phenological stage, and alert is calculated at the field level.

This step allows you to add, edit, and remove fields before activating your farm.

Adding a Field

To add a field, select “Add Field” and draw the boundary directly on the map. You can create one or multiple fields within the same farm.

Each field requires:

• A drawn boundary

• A crop type

• A crop variety (optional, depending on crop)

Carbonleap automatically calculates acreage based on the boundary you draw.

Drawing Field Boundaries

The field boundary tool allows you to:

• Click to place vertices around the field

• Adjust or move points as needed

• Close the polygon to complete the boundary

Accuracy is important because:

• Satellite metrics are clipped to this shape

• Acreage determines subscription tier

• Weather and growth models depend on exact geometry

---

Editing or Deleting a Field

During onboarding, you can:

• Edit the shape at any time

• Change crop or variety

• Remove a field completely

You can also save one field and continue working on another without leaving the page.

How Acreage Is Calculated

Field acreage is:

• Automatically computed from the drawn polygon

• Summed across all fields in the farm

• Rounded to the nearest whole acre for subscription estimation

This value is shown in real time as you adjust boundaries.

---

Working With Multiple Fields

If your property contains multiple blocks or parcels:

• Add each block as a separate field

• Name them clearly for easier navigation later

• You can toggle between fields during the onboarding flow

During monitoring, you can switch fields quickly using the field selector on the Monitor Farm dashboard.

Step 3: Select Subscription

In the next step, Carbonleap uses your total acreage to estimate the appropriate subscription tier for the farm.
