How to report an incident and check weather in Field Station
Goal
Report a field problem and check working conditions from the shared tablet.
Steps
Choose Report incident. Select the problem—pest or disease, equipment breakdown, missing supplies, safety or other—its severity and, where relevant, the plot. Leave the plot unselected if the affected area is not yet known.
Open Weather to review current farm conditions and the working window. Even when conditions are marked suitable, confirm the product, label and equipment before recording an application.
Use Quick question for short operational guidance about application conditions, safety intervals, rates, spray mix, calibration or blocked tasks, or type your own question.
Result
The incident is recorded with severity and location where available, while weather and quick guidance support the operator’s decision to continue or postpone work.
Common mistakes
- Choosing a severity that understates a serious problem, or marking everything critical so urgent incidents become harder to distinguish.
- Treating a suitable weather window as approval for any application. Product, label, crop and equipment still need to be checked.
