Farming Land / A working companion

A clearer picture starts with the file.

Three places. Nine lines of enquiry. A little more care with what you know, and what you still need to ask.

A working companion

A view is a beginning.
A record takes the question further.

Bring up to three land files alongside one another. Separate your notes, the source behind them and the question still open. Use broad labels and keep sensitive documents elsewhere.

A closer reading

Soil

Which survey, sample or written assessment are you reading? Record its date, scale and the question it can actually answer.

A

Your file A

0 of 9 topics have a source reference · 0 have a question

B

Your file B

0 of 9 topics have a source reference · 0 have a question

C

Your file C

0 of 9 topics have a source reference · 0 have a question

The counts describe your record keeping. A received document, a filled box or a comparison column does not establish the quality, value or suitability of land.

A useful comparison leaves room for an unanswered question.

Use the same topic across all three columns, without trying to force unlike places into a score. Record the date and source of an account. When a map, a visit and a written record appear to differ, keep each reference and write down what would resolve the difference.

Your workbook stays in this page until you save or export. Browser saving is separate from an account and can be cleared by the device. Nothing here is attached to a publishing enquiry. A saved file can be opened again using the import control; opening a file never recalculates a valuation or verifies a document.
