How do I create an Irrigation pivot and layer?

Overview:

Use the Center Pivot Irrigation tool in AgStudio to specify irrigated zones within a field boundary. Integrate irrigation zones into Decision Zones to assist with creating seeding prescriptions, application recommendations, and precision field monitoring.

Requirements:

• Farms and field boundaries created

Process:

1. Navigate to the correct Grower and Crop year in AgStudio.
2. Click the Irrigation menu and select Center Pivot Irrigation.
3. Click the New Pivot  icon.
4. Name the pivot in the New Pivot Window: and then click OK.
5. Select the pivot in the Available Pivots section of the Center Pivot Irrigation Window and select the field in the Domain Tree that the pivot will be placed on.
6. Click the Draw Pivot  icon.
7. Click the center of the pivot on the field (left-click and hold) and then drag the cursor to the edge of the pivot on the field and release the left mouse button.
8. The pivot circle will turn red. This location is adjustable.
9. Adjust the location of the pivot by clicking the Move Pivot  icon.
   • Two icons appear on the map:
     • The cross in the center moves the pivot.
     • The double-arrow in the corner changes the size of the pivot.
10. Click the Save Pivot  icon.
    • Note: This does not create a layer. It saves a template from which layers are created. This template does not respect field boundaries. If the pivot spans two fields, the layer is created in both fields.
11. Close the Center Pivot Irrigation window.
12. Select the field in the domain tree in which the irrigation layer is to be created.
    • Note: This action can be done on the farm or operation level to create layers for multiple fields at once.
13. Click the Irrigation menu and select Create Irrigation Layer.
14. Enter "Irrigation Zones" into the Layer Name field.**It is suggested to leave Zone Length and Degrees at 0.  To further define Zone Length and Degrees click "Help"
15. Click OK.
16. The Irrigation Zones layer is saved to the highlighted field in the domain tree.
