Drawing your paddocks is easy. Check out these videos to learn how to get started:

Mobile App 📱

Pivots

Our Pivots tool can allow you to quickly map out any circular pivot paddocks you have. Simply tap on the green + button and select Pivot.

This will launch the pivot drawing tool. Tap the blue Add button at the middle point of your pivot. Drag the map to form your desired circle size.

Tap Undo to start again or Save to confirm your shape.


Web App 💻

Snap On to a Neighbouring Fence Line

As you draw your points for your paddock, it will attempt to Snap On any existing and nearby fence line so you can easily line up your neighbouring paddocks. 

If you zoom in, the Snap On distance will reduce allowing for finer control for selecting your points. 

This functionality can also be disabled by deselecting the Snap On button in the menu with a magnet.


Pivots

Select “Pivot” instead of “Paddock” in the menu.

Then use the same drawing tools to place a point at the centre of the pivot, and one at the edge.

That’s it! The tool will fill out the circle for you.

Setting up your paddocks to represent what happens on farm is important for making your record keeping easy.


Land Use

When creating a paddock you get the option to select its Land Use. This helps you identify if your paddock is being used for cropping, grazing or hay. Land Use also covers Feedlots, Yards, Pens, Vegetation and Laneways. See our Areas article for further information on these types.

Your paddock state can be edited at any time through the paddock editor. We recommend having your paddocks Land Use represent what it is being used for in the present, rather than past or future uses.

For grazing and cropping paddocks you can change the FOO and determine your grazing days remaining. See Grazing Planning for more.


Feedlots

You can draw out your feedlot onto AgriWebb. This enables you to track livestock movements and records. See our Feedlotting article for a step by step guide.


Adding, Editing and Deleting Paddocks

You can do all of these things on both the Web and Mobile App. See Drawing a Paddock, Edit a Paddock and Delete a Paddock for adding pre-fixes to your paddock names for quick reporting.


Workarounds

You can use a paddock to monitor and record many other things. Including agistment animals, selling grain and fuel use. See below for more information on these.
