Understanding Blocks

This diagram illustrates the relationship of blocks with a farm and harvests:

In JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management, you can associate blocks with a farm. Typically, you define blocks by physical boundaries or characteristics. Physical characteristics may include a section of planting rows, geographical boundaries, or requirements for special treatment and management throughout the growing cycle.

A block is a representation of a parcel of land and is typically defined with physical boundaries and characteristics such as the crop grown on the block. For example, a grower may have a farm made up of 100 different parcels of land that are used to grow crops. Each of these parcels is represented in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Grower Management system as a block.

The block's geographic information such as growing area, appellation and region, and coordinates define the physical relationship of the block to the land. You can set up block identifiers and attributes to define the block such as a section of planting rows, geographical boundaries, or requirements for special treatment and management throughout the growing cycle.
