Preparation of polygons for main crop growing areas in the country and define cropping practices and conditions
In order to do any meaningful crop forecasting, crop conditions should be take into consideration. First of all it needs to be clear where crops are grown. The crop growing areas will be digitized for use with the CM Box software. Secondly, some characteristics on crops related to local practices will have to be recorded.
Preparation of polygons for main crop growing areas
In the following example a map will be created in right format (BNA) of the millet growing area in India.
USDA / NOAA has created a simple map that roughly denotes millet growing areas in India. 
New rainfall data will be entered for 2006. The filter at the top part of the screen is applied to reflect this. 
A new record of data (36 dekadal values for a year) can be entered after pressing the + sign in the toolbar at the top of the screen. In the next window, the station name can be entered. 
Data are entered directly into the window. Flags could be specified as well, although one is not obliged to do so.
