Daily table

Blank means the source reported nothing for that day — not zero rain.

What counts for this field

Untick a source or a gauge and it stops counting for this field, in the past as well as going forward. Nothing is deleted — tick it back on and the history returns.

The list is the nearest six gauges, and the nearest two count to begin with. Unticking one does not promote another: a gauge half a mile away and one thirty miles away are measurements of different ground, and swapping one for the other would quietly change what this field's number means. The rest are listed so you can add one deliberately.

Gauges marked neighbour's gauge are read by hand by somebody else near this field. They never count until you tick them — you decide whether you trust a reading you cannot see being taken.

Your own weather station

A Davis — or anything else publishing WeatherLink's NOAA-format reports: NOAAMO.txt for the current month's daily rows, NOAAYR.txt for the year's monthly totals. It stands on your own ground, so it ranks first for whichever fields are nearest and becomes the reference the radar is checked against.

Give it the folder the two reports sit in and both are found — or either file, and the other one is found beside it. Both matter and they do different jobs: the daily report is the only source of daily on-farm rainfall and is overwritten every month, while the yearly one is what the calibration below is measured from.

Use the station's coordinates, not a field's. Test the address and it reads them out of the report header for you. You can also paste a latitude, longitude pair into either box and both fill in.

If somebody you farm with has already added this station, entering the same address uses theirs — it is read once for everybody who uses it. Nobody can find a station without knowing its address.

Manual gauges

Gauges you read yourself — the stick by the weather station, a neighbour's gauge near a field. Nothing fetches these, so they are never overwritten by an ingest. They rank by distance like any other gauge and are charted as their own series, so they stay an independent check rather than getting averaged into the automatic number. Paste a latitude, longitude pair into either coordinate box and both fill in.

Your gauges are offered to other people's fields nearby, by name and distance only — never where they are or whose they are. A neighbour's field counts one only if they choose to.

Fields

Acres and farm save as soon as you leave the box. Adding or moving a field maps its nearby gauges and pulls its history automatically. Paste a latitude, longitude pair straight out of a map into either coordinate box and both fill in.

Share a farm

Anyone with a farm's link sees that farm's charts and nothing else — no changes, no other farms, and no field or gauge positions. A crop consultant who opens it while signed in keeps it in their farm list. Stop sharing and the link dies.
