#### **Protocol Field Data**

Setting up protocol field data is a way to set up questions for a field visit, or collect extra information you need from growers about any of the protocol steps you've set up. For example, if you have a set of questions your grower needs to fill out in relation to the planting step, you can set that up in the Protocol Field Data section of Project Management.
