Farm management software
Run the whole operation from one record.
Fields, plantings, equipment, hay, grain, livestock, and compliance — connected to the books, so entering something once means it lands everywhere it belongs. Designed and used on a working Iowa farm.
Free for solo operators · No credit card required
Every side of the operation
Fields & planting history
Boundaries on a map, acres, rotations, planting dates, seed and rate, and yield by year.
Equipment & maintenance
Hours, service logs, parts, and repair cost per machine so you know what a unit really costs to run.
Hay & grain
Cuttings, bale counts by barn, movements in and out, bin inventory, contracts, and scale tickets.
Livestock
Groups and individuals, health and treatment records, withdrawal dates, feed rations, and feed inventory.
Compliance registers
Chemical applications with REI and PHI windows, applicator licenses, WPS, VFD, and manure plans.
Field weather
NOAA forecast and conditions pulled per field, so spray and cutting decisions use the right location.
Why farms move off spreadsheets
- One entry, everywhere it belongs — A seed purchase creates the expense, the input record, and the field cost at the same time.
- Operations and books in one system — Most farm management tools stop at agronomy. This one closes the loop into Schedule F.
- Works from the truck — Mobile-first forms and receipt photos, because records get made in the field, not at a desk.
- Priced for real farms — Free for a solo operator, $25/mo for a farm with a small team. No per-acre pricing.
- Your data stays exportable — Every module exports to CSV or PDF. Nothing is locked in.
Frequently asked questions
What does farm management software do?
It keeps the operational side of a farm in one place — fields and planting history, equipment and maintenance, crop and livestock inventory, inputs and applications, and the compliance records that go with them — so decisions and paperwork come from the same set of records.
How is this different from farm accounting software?
Accounting software tracks the money. Farm management software tracks the operation. Farm-Ledger does both in one system, so a chemical application shows up in your compliance register and your expense ledger from a single entry.
Do I need to be a big operation for this to be worth it?
No. The free Starter tier covers fields, plantings, equipment, hay, purchases, and basic Schedule F reporting for a solo operator. Paid tiers add livestock, grain, compliance registers, and additional users.
Can I map my field boundaries?
Yes. You can draw or import field boundaries, see acreage calculated from the shape, and export an FSA-friendly file for your farm records.
Does it track chemical restricted-entry and pre-harvest intervals?
Yes. Applications record the product, rate, and date, and the register flags REI and PHI windows so you know when a field is clear to enter or harvest.
Can more than one person use it?
Yes, on the Farm tier and above. Users get roles — owner, admin, editor, or viewer — so a hired hand can log work without seeing financials.
Focused on the money side? Farm accounting software and Schedule F software cover the tax and ledger side.
