Labelling Farm Map Help

    I am doing my ag project, and I have lost contact with my farmer, I am having troubles to find out what the labels are(as you can see from the pictures), the only thing I know is: the white fields are cut for silage and harvested. So if someone might know what they are: the black and white lines, the yellow, etc. could you please share it.
    Other then that I have no notion, the farm land is 96 hectares in total, so if someone could also possibly tell me how to divide it up proportionally, between the fields.
    Thanks

    Maybe the black and white are hedges ?

    I would assume boundaries or mabey small roads or lanes as you can already see hedges in the field,saying that there is a lot of dead ends in the black and white.

    They look like roadways to the paddocks.

    It says in the top left hand corner

    Dairy yard shows this --- yellow shading

    Farm roadways show this ---- black and white shading

    Back at it again!!
    Would I be right in saying this is used for tagging a calf ?

    Yup its used for tagging and it also takes a tissue sample from the ear if you're using it with the BVD tags

    Im really sorry, this thread makes it look like I am too lazy, but I honestly try everything before coming here.

    I am trying to put in a water supply, but where would you think would go in strip grazing. I looked up in Teagasc(http://www.teagasc.ie/publications/2011/63/63_SpringGrazing.pdf)

    ''* If using a temporary wire to
    strip or block graze, strategically
    place troughs in the field
    so that animals do not have to
    walk back over the grazed area
    for water (see Example 2).''
    Does that mean, I just place it in the middle of each paddock, because thats where it was on the farm I visited.
    But they had a temporary electric fence.

    Secondly, would anyone be able to make out the paddock numbers in the 3rd post, if not, how can i reasonably label them, numbering them. I can make out the bottom paddocks, 1-4 but thats about it.

    Last question would be, is it normal to put in hedgerows at the back of the paddocks, because thats what it is. You cannot see beyond them, but there is a neighboring field ahead of it, beyond the hedgerows, if you went out the road.
    As you can see, I accidentally put fencing on it, so putting fencing and hedgerows ?!

    1000* Appreciate if anyone could contribute, even the smallest thing.
