You're pricing stock without knowing your real labor cost per zone. That stops today.
Oregon nursery is the #1 industry in the US — over $1 billion in sales. You're competing on margins. If you don't know your actual labor cost per zone, you're guessing on pricing. Farm TimeCard tracks hours by zone and activity so you know your real numbers.

What changes when you switch
Before
You price container stock based on estimated labor. End of year, margins are thinner than expected because Zone 4 labor was 25% over budget.
After
Real-time labor cost by zone. You see the numbers during the season. Pricing decisions use actual data, not last year's guesses.
Before
Shipping season — everyone works 50+ hours. OT costs eat your margins. You've never heard of AEOTC credits.
After
AEOTC tracking runs automatically. Non-dairy farms under 25 FTE get 80% back on OT premiums in 2025-2026. That's real money back in your pocket. Confirm eligibility with your CPA.
Before
You have 35 employees across 8 zones. Tracking who worked where is a full-time job for your office manager.
After
GPS-verified punches by zone. Reports show hours by zone and by activity. Your office manager spends 3 hours on payroll instead of 12.
Before
DOL audit. Two years of records in a filing cabinet. Your office manager spends a week pulling it together.
After
One click. Audit package downloads — organized by pay period with timestamps, GPS, breaks, and change logs.
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 nursery/greenhouse with Farm TC
6:00 AM
Morning crew arrives. Workers clock into their assigned zone — propagation, shipping, field production. GPS confirms location even inside greenhouses.
10:00 AM
Break prompt after 4 hours. Workers tap to start rest break. Break attestation recorded automatically.
12:30 PM
Meal break. Foreman checks dashboard — shipping crew is at 44 hours already. Adjusts tomorrow's schedule.
4:00 PM
Crews clock out. Phones sync if they were offline in greenhouses. Manager reviews and approves the day.
End of Month
Pull labor cost by zone report. Compare propagation vs. shipping vs. field production. Adjust stock pricing based on actual labor data.

Common questions
What if I already use paper timesheets?
Most nurseries we talk to use paper or a basic spreadsheet. Run both for a week. With 10-50 employees, the time savings on payroll alone justify the switch. Your team adapts faster than you'd think.
What if my crew doesn't have smartphones?
Shared devices at zone entry points work well for nurseries. Foreman can use supervisor batch entry for crews without phones. We're building BLE relay support.
Can my bookkeeper access this?
Yes. External bookkeeper role with payroll data and report access. For a 30-person nursery, this can save your bookkeeper 4-6 hours per pay period.
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. Metal greenhouse frames kill cell signal — we know that. Punches save offline with GPS and sync when workers step outside or reach Wi-Fi.
Do you guarantee compliance?
No. Tools, not guarantees. This isn't legal advice. Confirm obligations 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. Confirm eligibility with your CPA.
How does labor cost by zone help me price stock?
When you know that propagation in Zone 3 costs $X per week and shipping in Zone 7 costs $Y, you can work backward to real per-unit labor cost. Oregon nurseries compete on margins — guessing your labor cost is a losing strategy.
We're year-round. Is annual pricing better for us?
Usually, yes. Annual upfront pricing charges 10 months and covers 12. If your crew is stable, you save 2 months. Private founding-member offers, when available, apply separately from public list pricing.
