Two things:
Fields are usually drawn like tidy square cross hatching - representing the furrows. If you did it that way instead of using just colour you would be able to tone down that rather acid green. It doesn't work well with the other much more subdued colours.
As for the labels, I would do as I heard others suggest - get the letters where you want them then export just the labels as a transparent png file back to GIMP, and sort out the glows there instead of trying to finish the job in Inkscape.
A lot of people swap around from app to app and back again to get the best out of all of them, and if filters aren't easy in Inkscape it sounds like a good idea to get the labels back into the original GIMP file

Thanks Mouse! See? You're still helping after all!
The farmlands - I'll see if I can sort them out, or just chuck them in the garbage bin.
Um. I seem to be messing things up (as usual).
I've tried according to several guides on the net to export a transparent png file from inkscape. And it doesn't work. Once, the file 'didn't exist'. another time, it was the full image, with the linework and color.
And it seems my inkscape and gimp files are merged down.
Hovering in digital-hell.
Ah, ah, I'd never know this would be such a mess...
Sigh. I've just realized it will be easier to place the labels in white. After all, the challenge won't wait around for me..
The inkscape file is merged down?
What about the original GIMP file?
Surely you didn't merge that down as well... did you?
And don't forget that once you import a layer of labels into GIMP (when you get that far) you can easily Filters/Colors/Colorize... it to any colour you want, including white.
I never ever use merge at all. When a file gets too big to run easily I start a new file from an exported png of the first file, so that even though the original layers are all merged in the second file, they are always available from the first file if it all goes wrong.

No, I didn't merge them.
They did so themselves.
Um.
But ofc it's probably something to do with me... as usual...
Oh. Inkscape exports only as png.
And I've been saving and exporting as inkscape svg (whatever that is).
*facepalm*
So how do I save as a jpg? is that even possible??
As usual and expected, my dear filters... disappeared.
