What The Farmer’s Office is
The Farmer’s Office is Windows software for agricultural payroll, human resources, and accounting, built for farmers and farm managers. Payroll can calculate rest and recovery, overtime, sick pay, and minimum or guaranteed wages, and generate state and federal tax forms for 22 supported states. Crop cost accounting tracks income, expenses, and profitability by crop, variety, and field, with reports by crop year and analysis per acre or yield. Crop Notes can record soil conditions, planting dates, temperatures, chemicals, and other information. An integrated HR app shares data with payroll and supports safety meetings, injury records, and ACA or insurance records. Other listed functions include fixed asset tracking, harvest records and yields, document storage, and grower billing. Payroll can connect with third-party time clocks and field data collection software, export checks to QuickBooks, and create bank files for Positive Pay and direct deposit. Datatech offers help with installation, imports, training, and ongoing support. Pricing is tailored to needs and budget and available on request.
