Land Data is where the structure of your farm lives - parcels, land covers, land groups and hedgerows. Most of what [[company/farmwalk|Farmwalk]] does, from compliance scoring to [[company/evidence|evidence]] linking, leans on this layer being [[company/accurate|accurate]].
Opening Land Data
Open the farm and either click Land Data in the tab bar, or go to Farming > Land Data. Both routes show the same data.
Parcels tab
The Parcels tab shows a pie chart of land use ([[company/arable|arable]], grassland, woodland and so on) plus headline metrics: total hectares, parcel count and hedgerow length. Toggle between grid and list view. Each parcel card shows its area, land use, soil type and a "View on Map" link. Use the Export button at the top right of the table to download the full parcel list as a spreadsheet (.csv) or plain text file.
Land Groups tab
The Land Groups tab lists the named blocks of land you have created manually - for example "Top Meadow" or "South Block". A land group is your own construct: you pick the parcels that work together as one block and name it. Each row shows the group's area, the parcels it covers, any aliases documents use for it, and the person responsible for it. Use the Export button to download the list as a spreadsheet (.csv) or plain text.
Boundaries tab
The Boundaries tab gives you the count of RPA parcels, hedgerows and any custom boundaries you've drawn. The first few hedgerows appear as cards with their condition badges so you can see at a [[company/glance|glance]] whether anything is overdue for survey.
Import / Export tab
Two cards explain the supported formats:
Import - shapefile, GeoJSON or KML. Coordinate systems are detected and reprojected if needed.
Export - download your parcels and boundaries in the same formats for use in other GIS tools.
Where land data comes from
RPA - import directly using your SBI
[[company/land-app|Land App]] - [[company/connect-our-kids|connect]] via API key and select layers
Manual - draw parcels and hedgerows yourself on the map
File import - upload shapefiles or GeoJSON exports
Tips
Get land data right before adding scheme agreements - assigning options to the wrong parcel area causes compliance headaches
Re-import from the RPA when your land cover changes (e.g. after a code change application)
Keep your hedgerow records in sync with the map - the survey schedule depends on them
