FOR OREGON RANCHES

Built for this operation, not a generic office.

A route-specific field record keeps the work, payroll math, and readiness trail in one place.

01
Route wedge

Range work keeps moving when service drops.

Oregon cattle and calves: $791 million (#2 commodity). Eastern Oregon ranches often have zero cell coverage in pastures.

Photo essay · the rest of Oregon

Eleven farm types, one operating system.

We built the four capabilities above for Oregon's most labor-intensive crop types. The same engine runs everything else.

Dairy

Tillamook to Linn County.

Parlor shifts. Milking rotations. Salaried-hourly hybrids. Grade A retention compliance.

Tillamook & Linn County
Highest year-round OT exposure
Parlor shifts, milking rotations, salaried-hourly hybrids. Up to 12% wage increase at the 40-hour threshold. AEOTC credits offset.
PIECE-RATE · HOURLY · SALARIED · ALL HANDLED
Grass seed & grain

Linn County grass seed.

Swather, combine, and cleaning crews. A three-week weather window means twelve-hour days. Hourly plus seasonal overtime, every break on record.

Linn & Marion County
90% of US grass seed
Oregon grows the nation's cool-season grass seed. Tight weather windows push 12-hour days through spray, harvest, and cleaning. FarmTC keeps every shift, break, and weather pause on one timeline.
HOURLY · OT · WEATHER WINDOWS
Christmas trees

Clackamas County Christmas trees.

Shearing crews through summer. Cut and bale in November. Seasonal H-2A and local labor, both on the same record.

Clackamas & Marion County
Oregon = top US producer
Year-round shearing rolls into a six-week November harvest. H-2A documentation, piece-rate baling, and end-of-season payouts all stay tied to the row and the worker.
SEASONAL · H-2A · PIECE-RATE
Nurseries

Washington County nurseries.

Greenhouse staff on salaried-hourly hybrids. Field crews on piece-rate transplanting. Same payroll run, same export, same record.

Washington & Marion County
Oregon's #1 ag sector
Nursery and greenhouse is Oregon's top-grossing commodity. Year-round salaried-hourly hybrids meet seasonal piece-rate transplanting on one payroll run, with §778.115 weighted average handled automatically.

The economics

What is your office time worth each year?

Enter your current payroll prep time. The estimate is built from the assumptions shown here.

Formula shown: 6 x 26 x $50

Hours per pay period x pay periods per year x office-time value. Actual results depend on your current workflow and payroll setup.

Estimated office-time value
$7,800

That's 156 office hours per year based on the assumptions shown here.

FarmTC helps keep time and payroll records organized for Oregon BOLI review; it does not replace legal or tax advice.

The codes · by name

Every Oregon code. Handled.

Most ag SaaS lists 'compliance' as a feature. Here are the actual Oregon statutes — by code — that FarmTC was built around. If you don't know them by code, you don't understand the operation.

HANDLED
20 CFR 655.200

Range occupation AEWR.

Range work has its own H-2A wage procedure. FarmTC keeps the attestation attached to the time record.

HANDLED
FLSA §13(a)(6)(E)

Range production record.

Ranch labor needs range-specific classification support, not a crop-only time clock.

HANDLED
HB 4002

Oregon ag overtime, phased.

48-hour threshold today, dropping to 40 by 2027. Auto-calculated, with seasonal exemption windows applied per crop and county.

HANDLED
ORS 315.133 · ORS 315.135

AEOTC · the overtime tax credit Oregon owes you.

Oregon refunds a share of every overtime dollar you pay agricultural workers. Dairy farms under 25 FTE: 100% — and that rate doesn't phase out. Other Oregon farms: 30%–80% depending on size and tax year. The condition: track hours, breaks, and overtime in the format the state's application expects, week by week. In 2024, only $5.1M of the $55M annual cap was claimed — most farms left their share on the table because the records were too hard to assemble after the fact. FarmTC tracks the right things in the right format from the first clock-in. Application window opens January 1 each year. Not tax advice — confirm eligibility with your CPA.
