Field visit to signed client report

The draft is written from what you said at the field, and you check every line against your recording and photos. The client gets the version you signed.

You leave Ridge Field with photos of a wet corner by the tile outlet and a voice note about the soil samples you pulled. When you open the visit, the draft is waiting: the field, the problem, where you saw it and what’s still pending.

You read it with your recordings and photos beside it. Fix a sample depth, sharpen the wording, add your recommendation. The report uses your team’s sections, order, logo and letterhead, so it looks like every other report you send.

Sign it with a drawn or typed signature and send the files by email with a short note. The grower doesn’t need an account or a paid seat to open it.

Every signed version is kept. If you change the advice later, PropelMapper saves a new version and keeps the one you sent, so when the grower calls months later you know exactly what you told them.

What a good field report includes

A grower wants three things from a scouting report: which field, what you found and what to do about it. A landowner reading a farm inspection wants the condition of the property and the work that’s planned. Everything else is supporting detail.

Say how big the problem is as well as where it is. Yellow plants at one tile outlet are a finding about that patch, not the whole field. If you walked the rest of the field and it looked fine, say so. Include how you sampled and the units, so the numbers mean something.

Every photo should earn its place. A wide shot shows which part of the field, and a close-up shows the symptom. One line under each saying what it shows and where it was taken does more than a page of unlabeled pictures.

End with your call: what you think is going on, what happens next and what you’re still waiting on. If the lab results aren’t back, say when you’ll follow up.

Checking the draft before it goes out

Read the draft once the way the grower will. Spell out abbreviations, use the field name the grower uses and make the recommendation a sentence they can act on.

If a number looks off, open the voice note or photo it came from and check the draft against it before you sign.

What changed between versions

The judgment you add to the draft is the part worth keeping a record of. So every save is a version, and Compare shows two of them side by side, with what was added and what was taken out.

That matters most when someone else touched the report. A manager who tightened the wording, a colleague who corrected a count, an advisor who changed a recommendation after the soil results came back: Compare shows each change against the version before it, and the signed one stays exactly as it was signed.

Questions about reports

Can I review a report without service?

You can review, edit and sign a draft already downloaded to the phone. A new visit must upload before its draft can be created, and sending requires a connection.

Who it’s for

For agronomists, crop consultants and farm managers who owe a grower or landowner a written report after every visit.
