Fields are the easiest way to manage locations in the aWhere APIs, providing an easy reference for tracking weather, agronomics, models, and progress over growing seasons. Once a field is registered, plantings can also be registered for that field with specific information about the crop planted at that location, the date of planting, and other optional information.

Occasionally, you may need to update the details of your field. At this time, only the farm ID, field Name, and number of acres can be updated using this function. Field details can only be updated one variable at a time, for one field at a time. If you need to update multiple fields or multiple variables associated with a field, please pass commands sequentially.
