This release includes updates to the available practice changes. The “edge of field” practice change has deactivated, and additional practice changes have been added. One of the new practice changes is “normal operations” and will be used to capture a producer’s normal operation during a season. If data operations are not to be captured, producers can utilize the renamed “pending enrollment” practice change. This was previously the “no change” practice change option. The “pending enrollment” practice change will be used the same way as the previous named version. The practice change is meant to capture a producer’s field but not include it in any enrollment years. No operational data is collected when the field is marked with the “pending enrollment.” The producer can include it in their enrollment or can continue to mark it as “pending enrollment.” 

In addition to the updated and new practice changes, projects have also been updated. The MRV will now allow each project to have its own list of available practice changes. This will allow projects to restrict their producers from selecting practice changes that can’t be modeled or are not part of the project’s scope. Administrative and staff accounts can add or remove practice changes within the “project settings” tab. Once the changes are saved, producers are no longer able to select the removed practice changes. If producers already had a removed practice change selected, then it will remain unchanged. The fields with no longer accepted practice changes will be flagged when the producer and/ or their delegate attempts to start the field submission process.  A full list of release notes has been included below.
