In this step

Confirm or claim your farm boundary on the interactive map. You can toggle on Street View or use the built-in search to find your farming unit. Once you claim a unit, that action cannot be undone unless you delete your enrollment. If you run into trouble, use the Create Ticket + button at any time to submit a support ticket. You can edit your farming unit boundary; your edit appears as an override throughout the enrollment process until an administrator approves it.

Agriculture offsets

  • Approved agriculture offsets are filled in automatically in a table. Use View PDF to open the document.
  • Crop type and acreage are not shown when the crop was planted in 2021 or earlier.
  • Approvals issued under the Urgency Ordinance (Ordinance 3246) are not included in this list.

What to do

  • Turn on Street View or use the built-in search to find and select your farming unit on the map
  • Confirm the boundary or click "No, I need to edit"
  • Click Create Ticket + anytime you need to submit a support ticket
  • If you edit the farming unit boundary, it appears as an override for the rest of enrollment until an administrator approves it
Step 5: Field Selection screenshot
5 Field Selection

In this step

Pick which fields you want to include in your enrollment. Only selected fields will be available for fallowing. Crop and irrigation information is not added here—in the next step you review and correct pre-populated crop and irrigation data for the fields you selected. If a field you expect is missing, submit a support ticket and attach a screenshot.

What to do

  • Click fields on the map or use the list to select them
  • If a field is missing, submit a support ticket with a screenshot attached
Step 6: Field Boundaries screenshot
6 Field Boundaries

In this step

Review and correct pre-populated crop and irrigation details for each selected field, choose frost protection from the dropdown options where applicable, and request boundary updates if the map data needs correction.

What to do

  • Verify or correct crop type and irrigation details for each selected field
  • Select frost protection from the dropdown options for each field
  • Use the map tools to suggest boundary overrides
Step 7: Irrigated Wells screenshot

In this step

This step is optional. Wells prepopulate from county records so you can see what is on file—informational only, not for tracking water use. Click a county well marker to view its information and open a redacted PDF from county records. Those prepopulated locations are fixed and cannot be moved or modified. You can click the map to add extra wells when you have irrigation or domestic wells that are not already shown.

What to do

  • Review prepopulated wells; click a marker for details and the redacted county-records PDF
  • Click the map to add irrigation or domestic wells if additional locations apply
  • Add names or notes for wells you add in the sidebar
Step 8: Fallowed Areas screenshot
8 Fallowed Areas + Screening

In this step

Define what you are fallowing: you can fallow an entire field or draw an area inside a field. Acreage is calculated and shown for you. Choose a fallow start date up to five years in the past. For fallow end timing, pick a range: short (>1 year), medium (3-5 years), or long (5+ years). When you save, we run a quick automated check to verify eligibility.

After your enrollment is approved, you can update these choices if circumstances change—for example replanting, enrolling additional land, or rotating what you fallow.

What to do

  • Fallow a whole field or draw a shape within a field; watch the displayed acreage
  • Set the fallow start date (up to five years ago) and the end range: short (>1 year), medium (3-5 years), or long (5+ years)
  • Save to see automated screening results
Step 9: Submit screenshot
9 Submit

In this step

Review your entire application summary and submit for final processing. You will get email notifications from support@fallowedlandregistry.com when you submit and again when your enrollment is approved.

Tip: If you do not see an email, check your spam or junk folder.

What to do

  • Review all sections for accuracy
  • Click "Submit Enrollment" to complete the process
Step 10: Summary and Land IQ data after approval
10 After approval

In this step

Once your enrollment is approved, you can open the enrollment Summary to explore monthly crop evapotranspiration (ETc) and precipitation from August 2024 through the latest available month, using Land IQ–sourced data for your fields.

What you can do

  • Click Summary to review your full enrollment alongside the data view
  • Browse monthly ETc and precipitation time series (Land IQ) from August 2024 to present
  • Use the interactive page and map to explore your enrolled areas

This step is available only after your enrollment has been approved. For where these datasets come from, see Data Sources.
