PRF: By design, once a PRF coverage has been saved for the first time, the Irrigation and Organic Practice fields become read-only. AIPs are reporting issues with agency users keying an Irrigation and/or Organic Practice when one is not applicable. While there is a message on the page instructing users when an Irrigation and/or Organic Practice should be keyed, the message was very lengthy and users may not have been reading it. In an effort to minimize these keying errors, the on-screen message stating when an Irrigation and/or Organic practice should be keyed has been shortened. In addition, the message will display in bold red text. The updated message reads: "Selection of an Irrigation or Organic Practice is only applicable if the Grower has elected different coverage levels or productivity factors by practice."
