Track the hauling by the hour meter
Tanking out of a pit, box spreading out of a pen, and the agitation work before either one starts. Every machine that worked gets a row, with its start and end readings, so what you bill matches what happened.
30 days free, no credit card. One module is $1,200 a year for the whole farm.
What the Manure module gives you
- All your records in one place — no more lost papers or scattered notes.
- Ready when someone asks — every session is dated and tied to a field, with the pit, the wind, the temperature and the hours. Export it in seconds.
- Know what went where — gallons, loads and acres by field, so you can see exactly what each field received and when.
- Tanking and box-spreading tracked separately — keep precise records of how the manure was actually applied.
- Save time and headaches — less time on paperwork, more time farming.
- Better records, better decisions — see which fields got what, and how many hours it took, season over season.
A season of tanking. Grower, field and pit names are demo data.
Kept apart, because they are different jobs
Different equipment, different crews, different money. So they get their own sessions and their own reports rather than being lumped together.
Tanking
Pulling tankers from a pit out to a field. One session per day per field, and a row for every machine that hauled.
Box spread
Spreaders running out of a pen. Same shape as tanking, with its own reports so solid and liquid never get mixed up.
Agitation
The pump, boat and tank-tractor work at the pit before hauling starts. Real hours on real equipment, written down instead of forgotten.
The day's conditions, then the machines that worked
The session header
- Date, grower, field
- From your own lists. Every session ties back to one field.
- Pit or pen
- Where it came from, so you can total by source.
- Wind and temperature
- Typed in by whoever was there on the day.
- Notes
- Anything worth remembering later.
Each machine underneath it
- Equipment and owner
- From your list, so you can tell whose iron did what.
- Operator
- Who was running it.
- Start and end hour meter
- Readings at both ends. FarmingMode does the hours.
- Fuel used
- Recorded per machine.
Writing down the wind and the temperature is the point
It takes a few seconds on the day. If anybody ever asks about the conditions when that field was covered, the answer is in the session instead of in somebody's memory.
Tractors, trucks, or both
You tell FarmingMode how the operation hauls, and the entry screens reshape themselves to match. Nobody scrolls past equipment types the farm does not own.
- Tractors only — tanker outfits pulled behind tractors. Truck fields never appear.
- Trucks only — tanker trucks, and no tractor fields cluttering the screen.
- Both — mixed fleets get both, and each row records which kind did the work.
- Whose machine was it — tractors and trucks each belong to an owner, so hired and borrowed iron is still accounted for.
Six spreadsheets, including the two you bill from
The Cost and Manifest reports are the ones that matter if you are hauling for somebody else and have to put a number on it.
- Manure Manifest
- Manure Breakdown
- Manure Cost
- Box Spread Manifest
- Box Spread Breakdown
- Box Spread Cost
What this is, and what it is not
These are records and spreadsheets. FarmingMode does not write a nutrient management plan, does not analyse what is in the manure, and does not guarantee any compliance outcome. What it gives you is a dated, per-field, per-machine account of the work with the conditions on the day, which is a far better place to start from than a notebook.
Put one pit through it
Thirty days free, no credit card. Set up a pit, a field and a couple of tractors, then see what the cost report looks like at the end of the week.
