# Farms

> Build a farm from parcels, see acres and soil rating, connect contacts and operations, and navigate to it.

A farm is a group of parcels you've drawn a line around and named — the way you
actually talk about ground in the field. Once a farm exists, it's a single thing
you can navigate to, connect people to, and share.

## Opening a farm

* Tap **Farms** on the main control sheet for your saved list.
* Tap a farm boundary on the map.
* Search for it by name.
* Open it from a parcel or contact it's connected to.
* In CarPlay, use **Explore → Farms** for the ones nearest you.

When you open a farm, its fields are outlined on the map behind the sheet.

## What's on the detail sheet

The header shows the farm name with **Acres**, **Production**, and **Soil
Rating**, followed by the county and state and the farm's center coordinates.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Connections" icon="link">
    The contacts and operations tied to the farm, with **Connect a Contact** for
    adding another.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Parcels" icon="draw-polygon">
    Every parcel in the farm with its acres. On farms you can edit, this is also
    where you add or remove parcels.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Use the recenter button to bring the map back to the farm, and the share button
to send a link to it.

## Building a farm

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start from a parcel">
    Open a parcel and use the **Farms** section to start a new farm from it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the rest of the ground">
    Select the additional parcels that belong to the farm.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name and save it">
    The farm is then available on the map, in your Farms list, and in CarPlay.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Creating and editing farms requires the farms permission on your CamoAg
  account. Without it, farms open read-only.
</Note>

## Driving to a farm

Tap **Directions** to route to the farm. Which app opens depends on your
[Default Directions App](/ios/getting-started#default-directions-app) setting —
except in CarPlay, which always uses CamoAg's own navigation.

## In CarPlay

The CarPlay farm card shows the farm name, coordinates, county and state, parcel
count, and gross acres, with **Directions** routing to the center of the farm.
See [CarPlay](/ios/carplay#farms).
