You know labor is 40% of your cost. Now you can see exactly where it goes.
Pruning, canopy work, harvest, crush — each one costs different, and you're pricing wine without knowing the real labor number for any of them. Farm TimeCard tracks hours by block and activity so you see your actual cost per acre before you plan next vintage.

What changes when you switch
Before
You price wine based on estimated labor. After harvest, you find out Pinot block 4 cost 30% more per acre than you planned.
After
Real-time labor cost by block and activity. You see the numbers during the season, not after.
Before
Pruning crew hours are mixed in with canopy management. You can't separate labor cost by activity type.
After
Activity codes split pruning, canopy, harvest, crush, and general vineyard work. Reports show each one separately.
Before
Harvest crew of 15 works 55-hour weeks. You don't realize until payroll that OT cost you $3,000 more than budgeted.
After
Dashboard shows the 48-hour line. You get alerts mid-week when workers approach the threshold. You decide whether to add a crew or absorb the OT.
Before
Your CPA asks about AEOTC credits. You've never heard of them. The deadline passes.
After
AEOTC tracking runs automatically. Your estimated credit is visible on the dashboard. You hand your CPA the report at tax time.
Everything in one place
Core time tracking is available on every plan. Advanced compliance, payroll, safety, and operations tools unlock by tier.

Common questions
What if I already use paper timesheets?
Most of our first farms switched from paper. Run both in parallel for a week. Once you trust the digital data, drop the paper. Your crew adapts faster than you'd expect — clocking in is one tap.
What if my crew doesn't have smartphones?
A shared device at the barn works well for smaller vineyard crews. Supervisor batch entry lets your crew lead record hours for everyone. We're also building BLE relay support.
Can my bookkeeper access this?
Yes. There's an external bookkeeper role. They can pull payroll data and reports without seeing personal employee info.
What happens if I cancel?
Your data stays accessible for 60 days. Export everything you need before that window closes.
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. Punches save with GPS on the phone and sync when signal returns. Hillside blocks don't stop your time tracking.
Do you guarantee compliance?
No. We give you tools to organize records and flag potential issues. This isn't legal advice. Confirm your 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 a percentage of OT costs. The state allocated $55M/year, but only $5.1M was claimed in 2024. For non-dairy farms under 25 FTE, the 2025-2026 credit rate is 80%. Farm TimeCard tracks your eligibility and generates the report your CPA needs. Confirm eligibility with your CPA.
Can I track pruning labor separately from harvest labor?
Yes. Set up activity codes for pruning, canopy management, harvest, crush, and anything else. Reports show hours and cost by activity so you know your real cost for each vineyard operation.
How does labor cost by block help me price wine?
When you know your actual labor cost per acre per block — not estimated, actual — you can price wine with real numbers. Most vineyards discover at least one block is costing significantly more than they thought. That changes allocation decisions.
Clean records. Less paperwork. More time for your blocks.
Know your actual labor cost per acre per block before planning next vintage. Most vineyards discover they're over-allocating labor in at least one block.
