Accepted Formatting of the Shapefiles:

Limitations

**There are currently no limitations for file size or number of columns**

• LineStrings or MultilineStrings are not supported. We consider that the Boundary must be a closed polygon to be recognized as valid.

• Files that do not match our accepted Attribute headers 

File compression accepted for upload

Field geometry must be uploaded as ESRI Shapefiles compressed as a ZIP. Nested .zip files are supported as long as there is not a directory within the structure. See supported examples below:

Attribute header names supported

NOTE: If the file only contains a Field name we will still accept the boundaries and automatically name the Grower and Farm with the Organization Name.

1. Grower:
   

   1. "growername", "grower_name", "grower name", "grower", "clientname", "client_name", "client name", "client", "customername", "customer_name", "customer name", "customer", "businessnam", "business_nam", "business"
      

2. Farm:
   

   1. "farmname", "farm_name", "farm name", "farm"
      

3. Field:
   

   1. "fieldname", "field_name", "field name", "field", "name"
      

Any name not included above will not be recognized.

The order of the names in the list sets their priority.
