A simpler alternative to farm-record spreadsheets
Spreadsheets are free, and they nearly work — until you're stood in a field with no laptop, or a certificate lapses with no warning, or the assessor wants a clean record and you've got fourteen tabs. FarmRecord fixes the parts spreadsheets can't.

Where spreadsheets fall down at audit
A spreadsheet is fine for sums, but it wasn't built for compliance.
- ✓ It doesn't come to the cab — records get written up later, from memory
- ✓ No reminders — a lapsed PA or NSTS date goes unnoticed until it's a problem
- ✓ Dates and totals are easy to fudge or fat-finger, which assessors notice
- ✓ It doesn't turn itself into a tidy, branded record to hand over
Set up from your spreadsheet in minutes
Import your farms, fields and animal groups from a spreadsheet to get going quickly, then log new records from your phone. If you have a big back-catalogue to bring across, get in touch and we'll help.
Logging is faster than filling a row
Pick the field and it fills the area; pick the product and it sets the rate and works out the total used and the harvest date. Most records take under a minute — quicker than tabbing across a spreadsheet.
Your data stays yours
Export your records to a file any time. Moving off a spreadsheet doesn't mean locking your data away — it stays yours, encrypted in transit and handled under UK GDPR.
Questions farmers ask
Can I import my spreadsheet?
You can import your farms, fields and animal groups to set up fast. For a large history of past records, contact us and we'll help bring them across.
Why not just use Excel?
Excel can't come to the field offline, won't remind you before a certificate lapses, and doesn't produce an assessor-ready record. FarmRecord is built for exactly those gaps.
Is it harder than a spreadsheet?
It is usually quicker — pickers and auto-calculated totals mean a record takes under a minute, with fewer mistakes than typing into a cell.
What happens to my data if I leave?
You can export your records at any time. It is your data.
