How do you draw crop lines in a map? I've searched my Symbols folders for actual symbols and have come up blank. One of the earlyish Live Streams showed how, but I cannot remember which year. All I remember is using different colours for different crops.

Crops shown as lines within a field are typically done using bitmap fills, not symbols, as far as I recall. So you'd need to use a drawing tool to draw the field shape, which will then have the lines in it, once you've finished drawing the polygon shape.
There may be a complication because fills don't always follow the first line you draw (so the lines won't be parallel to that field edge), but we can worry about that if you run into the issue (this will likely depend on the exact mapping style you've selected, as some styles are set to do this for you automatically, again if I've remembered right).
thanks @Wyvern
The Ferris Annual issue has different color crop areas.
They show as rows of color. There are several discussions and maps on these forums.
which annual number is that @JimP ?
Thak you all for your help.
@HelenAA , try issue 158
I don't have it yet, but thanks for a number, @Quenten
If you ever need to pinpoint which annual a particular issue is in this thread may be some help. Hover over the images to see the names.
I am quite a bit behind on this year's issues, but I will catch up with them soon.
My apologies. I was on my cellphone.
