Documents and Farm Records
Introduction
Have you already defined your farm project? Now you can attach documents to it. This is useful if you have farm records, water rights, equipment warranty, title insurance reports, deeds and easements, photos of crop conditions or pest damage, basically a wide array of documents is able to be stored in the Farmapper project.
Documents such as photos, recordings, files in the formats .doc or .pdf and many others can be added to the entire project or to individual tracts, and even stickers. Adding documents is very easy.
