The Plantings tab ​

The Plantings tab on a field lists the plantings in that field for the season you've picked. It shows the same records as the Plantings list, but only for this field, with a progress bar for each of the planting's key dates.

Opening the tab ​

Open the field, then click Plantings in the field's tab bar.
