Farm TimeCard vs PickTrace
Enterprise harvest management vs. Oregon farm time tracking

For Oregon farms that primarily need GPS time tracking, overtime compliance under HB 4002, and AEOTC tax credit automation — without the complexity and cost of an enterprise system — Farm TimeCard is purpose-built.

Why Oregon farms choose Farm TimeCard
Oregon HB 4002 overtime
Automatic 48-hour threshold tracking (phasing to 40 hours in 2027). No manual calculation needed — Farm TimeCard adjusts as the law changes.
