Set Up a Custom Crop

All Reinsurance Years

In the mapping module, we've added the ability for users to add their own custom crop names and customize the shading of the custom crops. These custom crops are stored by Agency and once created, they are appended to teh current RMA/FSA crops.

1. Open the Mapping module for a grower/policy.
2. Select Shading > Manage Shading and Logos.
3. Select the Custom Crops tab.
4. In the [Enter Crop Name] textbox, type in the name of a custom crop you want to add to the Custom Crops (Pasture, for example).

5. To connect the crop you entered to a specific RMA Commodity (for auto-matching of Precision Ag records to planting records), select the corresponding RMA Commodity from the dropdown. On import of Precision Ag records, if there is a match between the text of the commodity name to the custom crop listing, then use the selected RMA commodity code to match to the correct policy/coverage/premium line for the crop. For example, if the custom crop name is "Fuji Apples" but the RMA Commodity that Precision Ag records should match is "Apples".
6. To have the crop display in the Plant panel, mark the Include in Crop dropdown checkbox.
7. Click + Add. The System will add the new crop to the list and assign an internal/custom crop code to it.

Then, to add a color to the crop, select the Assign Color tab. Search for your new custom crop and add it to your list and assign a color like any other standard crop.
