What changes when you switch
Before
You have paper timesheets for cattle work, a different notebook for berry picking, and nobody tracks the maintenance hours at all.
After
One app. Fields for each operation. Activities for each task type. Every hour tracked in one place.
Before
Payroll is a puzzle — piecing together hours from three different record systems. Your bookkeeper bills 8 hours every pay period.
After
All time data in one export. Regular hours, OT, piece rates, organized by worker. Your bookkeeper exports in minutes.
Before
You don't know if the cattle side or the berry side uses more labor per dollar of revenue. You just know everyone's always working.
After
Labor reports by work area and activity. You see exactly how hours split between operations. That changes budget decisions.
Everything in one place
Core time tracking is available on every plan. Advanced compliance, payroll, safety, and operations tools unlock by tier.

A day on your mixed operation with Farm TC
5:30 AM
Cattle crew clocks in at the barn. Berry crew clocks in at the staging area. Each selects their field and activity. GPS captured on every punch.
9:30 AM
Break prompts after 4 hours. Both crews record rest breaks. Attestations stored for each.
12:00 PM
Meal break. Manager checks dashboard — sees hours by operation side by side. One berry picker is at 43 hours mid-week.
5:00 PM
Crews clock out. Phones sync any offline punches. Manager approves all operations from one screen.
Pay Day
One payroll export covers every worker across every operation. Hours, OT, and locations are clean. AEOTC estimate covers all ag overtime.

Common questions
What if I already use paper timesheets?
Most mixed operations use paper or multiple disconnected systems. Run Farm TimeCard alongside your current process for a week. Once you trust the data, consolidate into one system. The crew adapts faster than expected.
What if my crew doesn't have smartphones?
Shared devices at the barn and staging area. Supervisor batch entry for crews without phones. We're building BLE relay support for fixed clock-in points.
Can my bookkeeper access this?
Yes. External bookkeeper role. One login to pull payroll for all operations. No more stitching together three different record systems.
What happens if I cancel?
Data stays accessible for 60 days. Export everything first.
How is this different from QuickBooks Time?
In the public QuickBooks Time materials we reviewed, we did not find Oregon agriculture-specific 48-hour overtime or AEOTC workflows. Farm TimeCard is built around those Oregon farm use cases and can still export clean data into QuickBooks payroll workflows.
How is this different from free apps like Homebase?
In the public Homebase materials we reviewed, we did not find Oregon agriculture-specific overtime, AEOTC, or audit-ready farm workflows. Homebase is a general hourly-team product; Farm TimeCard is built around Oregon farm operations.
Does this work with spotty cell service?
Yes. True offline mode. Your remote pastures and back fields don't have signal — the app works anyway. Punches sync when devices reconnect.
Do you guarantee compliance?
No. Tools, not guarantees. This isn't legal advice. Requirements vary and change. Confirm with a qualified advisor.
What if I only have 3-4 employees — is it worth it?
A 4-worker farm recovering about 5 hours a month of recordkeeping time at $30/hour would recover about $150/month before any AEOTC value. Actual savings depend on your workflow, worker count, tier, and tax-year eligibility.
What's the AEOTC and can I really get money back?
The Agricultural Employer Overtime Tax Credit (ORS 315.133) lets Oregon farms offset OT costs. $55M/year cap, only $5.1M claimed in 2024. Non-dairy under 25 FTE: 80% credit rate in 2025-2026. Dairy under 25 FTE: 100%. Confirm your eligibility with your CPA — not all operations qualify.
Can I track crops and livestock in the same system?
Yes. That's the point. Set up fields for pastures, fields, barns, and facilities. Use activities to categorize tasks. Reports show labor by area and by activity type, so you can compare operations.
Will it get too complicated with multiple operation types?
Start simple. Set up your main fields and a few key activities. Add detail only where it helps you make decisions. Most mixed farms start with 4-6 locations and 5-8 activities and find that's enough.
Clean records. Less paperwork. More time for your work areas.
One login, one bill, one place for all your records. No more stitching together paper from three different operations.
