Trac^© FAQ’s #16

Is there an easy way to enter a spray, on the SprayData worksheet, that’s been applied to an entire farm, orchard, vineyard or several blocks; or does it have to be entered block-by-block?

It is not necessary to enter sprays on a block-by-block basis unless it fits your reporting or record keeping needs. Therefore, make sure all reporting requirements continue to be met for the Central Posting and processor forms when using the tactic described below. While this tactic may reduce data entry, it may preclude organizing spray information at the orchard, vineyard, variety, or block level (FAQ #26).

To enter a spray for an entire farm, orchard or vineyard, all blocks, or all varieties include a word such as All in the lists on the FarmData worksheet. Refer to FAQ #8 for further information on setting up the FarmData worksheet. When all orchards or vineyards, all blocks, or all varieties are sprayed on the same date and time, simply choose the word All from the drop-down list in that column on the SprayData worksheet.
