Been talking to a few farmers about how they track field records, and there's a clear split — guys with autosteer/data systems in the tractor barely think about it, it just logs itself. Guys without it are mostly on paper and it becomes a January problem.

Curious where people here land. Do you have that kind of setup, and if so, does it actually replace all your manual record-keeping, or is there still stuff that falls through the cracks?

Been talking to farmers on a few other forums (mostly US-based) about record-keeping, and there's a pretty clear split: guys with autosteer/data systems in the tractor barely think about it — it logs itself. Guys on paper end up with a few days of catching up at year-end, pulling everything together for the bank, landlord, tax stuff.

Curious if that split holds over here too, or if it looks different — different subsidy/reporting requirements, different mix of paper vs digital, whatever.

Hi everyone

I'm looking into how small/mid-size crop farms track field activity - planting,treatments, costs, harvest. Curious what people actually use day to day: paper notebook, Excel, some app, or just memory? What's the most annoying part of however you do it now? Losing data, forgetting to update it, too much time spent, no signal in the field, whatever it is. Trying to figure out if a dead-simple offline tool would actually solve anything real, or if people are fine with what they've got.

If someone interested, then ready to tell in a more detail about the app
