  4. Full area (ha) – the total area of the field including any field margins etc.
  5. Workable area (ha) – The area of the field that is cropped. This may be the same figure as the full area if there are no grass margins, game cover etc. The actual cropped area for each season is added later, and may include whole or split fields – see Allocate a crop
