Manage Farms

Configure farms, fields, and all field-level intelligence models

The Manage Farms section provides complete control over the structure of your farming operation. Unlike the Monitor Farm dashboard — which displays insights — this section is for creating, editing, and maintaining the data foundations that Carbonleap uses for analytics, alerts, and modeling.

Each farm is treated as a fully isolated data pod with its own:

  • Fields

  • Weather sources

  • Crop models

  • Vegetation pipelines

  • Alert engines

  • Configurations modules

This section displays all farms you own or have access to.


What You Can Manage Here

From the Manage Farms page, you can:

  • Add new farms

  • Add, edit, or delete fields

  • Edit existing farm information

  • Submit change orders

  • View activation status

  • See pending updates in read-only mode

  • Access field-level configuration modules

  • Navigate to Billing (a separate tab) when updating subscriptions


Configurations Inside Manage Farms

Each farm includes four configuration modules that enhance Carbonleap’s modeling accuracy:

1. Alert Tuner

Enable, disable, or adjust thresholds for each alert type.

2. Crop Calendar (Phenological Calendar)

Manage GDD thresholds, season start/end dates, and stage timing.

3. Crop & Field Details

Enter crop variety, spacing, soil descriptors, trellis type, irrigation details, plant density, etc.

4. Season Field Plan

Create and manage planned seasonal activities (sprays, irrigation cycles, canopy work, nutrient events, etc.).


1. Adding a New Farm

There are three ways to add a new farm:

  • Farm Selector → Add Farm

  • Manage Farms → Add Farm

  • Automatic onboarding if no farms exist

All entry points launch the same 3-step wizard:

  1. Farm Details

  2. Add Fields

  3. Select Subscription (opens the Billing tab automatically to choose a plan)

Once submitted, Carbonleap initializes:

  • Weather models

  • Crop models

  • Vegetation processing

  • Field alert engines


2. Adding or Deleting Fields

Add Fields

Tools you can use:

  • Draw boundaries

  • Set crop and variety

  • Auto-calculate acreage

Delete Fields

A field cannot be deleted if:

  • It is part of a pending change order

  • It is locked during activation

Deleting a field updates farm structure and may affect subscription tier (managed in the Billing tab).


3. Editing Existing Farms

You can edit:

  • Farm name

  • Field boundaries

  • Crop & variety

  • Field attributes

  • Configuration modules

Editing launches the same onboarding workflow, but only editable components are unlocked.

Important: Even if editing starts at the field level, you may navigate forward to:

  • Crop Calendar

  • Alert Tuner

  • Crop & Field Details

  • Season Field Plan

  • Subscription selection (in Billing tab)

Carbonleap tracks all updates automatically within the change order.


4. Change Orders (How Edits Are Processed)

Every modification goes through a change order to ensure system integrity.

A change order:

  • Captures all edits

  • Shows a final review summary

  • Locks the farm in Pending state

  • Processes updates across models and pipelines

When pending:

  • A Pending badge appears

  • Fields become read-only

  • No structural edits can be made

Once complete, the farm returns to Active and displays updated values.


5. Pending Status & Read-Only Mode

When a change order is submitted:

  • The farm temporarily becomes read-only

  • The field shows updated values even during processing

  • No edits are allowed until activation finishes

This avoids conflicts while recalculating:

  • Acreage

  • Field geometry

  • GDD models

  • Weather-source assignments

  • Alert thresholds

  • Field-level analytics


6. Canceling a Change Order

If you cancel during editing:

  • A confirmation popup appears

    • Continue Editing

    • Discard Changes & Exit

If discarding, Carbonleap prompts you to select a farm to navigate to.

No changes are applied unless the final summary is submitted.


Relationship to Billing (Separate Tab)

Subscription selection and subscription updates are not handled inside Manage Farms. They belong to the Billing & Subscription tab in Profile Settings.

Manage Farms may direct users to Billing when:

  • A new farm is created

  • Acreage changes require plan adjustments

But Billing is its own independent section.


Summary

Manage Farms allows you to manage:

  • Farm structure

  • Field boundaries

  • Field-level intelligence models

  • Configurations

  • Change orders and activation lifecycle

It defines what Carbonleap analyzes — while Monitor Farm shows you the insights produced from that structure.
