How can I create a farm or change farm settings in the CFP?

If you would like to create a new farm in CFP, go to the 'farms' section on the left-hand navigation. Click on the button 'create new farm' and enter all the required data. Some tips to help you:
  1. You can enter your location and latitude and longitude by clicking on the map, or by entering it manually
  2. To define your climate zone, use the IPCC map in the tool-tip. Also, browser translations may not differentiate between 'moist' and 'wet', therefore please use the original English version to define the correct climate zone.
  3. The exact soil classification of your farm can be defined via the API docs in the navigation.
