| 308568 | 2005-01-18 06:11:00 | I've just been directed to this thread, very timely :D . I have to redo my farm map as I've done some fairly extensive development which has altered the size of some paddocks quite dramatically. Areas shown as waste will now be included & there are some good links for me to look at. My original map, I did in 1993. I was going to get a professional job done, but my farm consultant told me I could do it myself for a fraction of the cost. Basically what I did, with help from my wife was; traced the legal boundary and paddock boundaries, waste, buildings, tracks etc. Then overlaid the map with a draughtsman's grid. Then counted every square within the boundaries, we know the survey area so from that we were able to calculate the size of a grid square. Then we counted grid squares in every paddock and were therefore able to work out the size of each paddock. Labourious, but we did it! I was kinda hoping to overlay the existing map with a grid (this time on the computer, of course. We didn't own one back in '93) but there might be an easier way, perhaps. |

| 308569 | 2005-01-18 06:18:00 | i ended up doing mine in word, all i did was draw squares as paddocks,its just a very simple map, also because our farm is very flat and square, i didnt bother with the sizes, took me about 10min to make, at least its cheaper than those maps that pros make with there gps's.... | Prescott (11) | ||
