When setting up your farm it's important to consider your operation, especially if you have multiple farms. 

The concept of a "block" is simply the grouping of paddocks together into a single "block". You can run multiple blocks on the one map. Running your farms as blocks will mean everything is on the same map. This can solve the inventory issue of having it on one farm rather than across multiple.

Note: If you're in the UK and are considering using blocks rather than separate farms, you will need to stay as separate farms if you're connecting to the government body to send movements through, as animals need to stay on the current farm that connects to the CPH number. So if you have 2 farms, you can't merge them and use blocks in this instance.

Setting them up as separate farms will mean having one map per farm. 

When working out if your farms should be run as blocks or separate farms you'll need to ask yourself a couple of questions:

If you run them as the same business it's better to have your farms on AgriWebb as different blocks on the one map. This means all your reports are combined. It also allows for you to transfer stock between your different blocks. 

If your farms are run under different PICs / CPHs then it would be best to keep them as separate farms on AgriWebb (especially in the UK If you're wanting to connect to government bodies for your movements. In this way your reports will be seperate. Transferring stock between the farms would be via sales and purchases. Due to the fact that an NVD would be required in real-life.

Running your farms as blocks would look like this. 

You can toggle between the blocks by using the toggle icon on the mobile app.
​

You can add prefixes to the names of your paddocks to help distinguish between blocks in your reports. See our Prefix article for more. 

By doing this, each of your farms would be on their own map. You can toggle between these farms using the left navigation panel on the Web App. 

Click on the down arrow next to your farm name.
​

You can switch between farms on the mobile app by selecting Menu > Switch Farm. 

If you would like to split blocks out from an existing farm map in AgriWebb, please contact Customer Support, as we'll need to assist you to do this.
