FarmSpot

Farm management in the cloud!

FarmSpot allows you to easily manage your farm by setting up fields, giving you access to historic weather and crop price data, tracking harvests, and selling your crop.

Fields

Using leaflet and satelite imagery, defining a field is as simple as drawing on a map. The map even calculates the size of the field for you.

Your field can be split into multiple sections, giving you fine control over what's in your field.

We pull in historic weather data from the government's climate websites, so you can predict what the following season might look like.

Harvests

When it comes time to harvest your crop, simply tell FarmSpot how much you've harvested and where you put it. We record all this information, so you never need to remember where you've put your last harvest.

Contracts

A simple, spreadsheet-like way to manage contracts you may have with companies over the year. Easy to add, edit, and save.

Markets

We've pulled in the government's open data on crop prices and created easy to read trends, so you can easily plan your next season.

We've also provided a marketplace. Post your price and crop type here, and potential buyers can get in touch!

The Cloud

Need to access your farm's data on the go? Thanks to the cloud, your data can be accessed anywhere. Our responsive design makes sure you can use our service anywhere -- even mobile!
