Red Tractor record-keeping software for UK farms
A Red Tractor assessment asks for a lot — but the records that are the real grind are what you've applied: sprays, fertiliser and livestock medicines, plus proof your certificates are current. FarmRecord handles those, logged from the cab, and gives you a document store for the rest — so your whole pack is together and ready the day the assessor calls.

What records does a Red Tractor assessment expect?
The detail varies by scheme, but most farms need the same core trail kept up to date and produced on request.
- ✓ Plant-protection (spray) records — product, rate, area, date, operator, weather and harvest interval
- ✓ Fertiliser and nutrient applications — what went on, where and how much
- ✓ Livestock medicine records — product, batch number, dose, withdrawal period and vet reference
- ✓ Current operator certificates — PA spraying, NRoSO points and NSTS sprayer tests
One place for your records — and the rest of your paperwork
Mixed farms get caught between tools — a livestock app that won't keep spray records, or an arable platform that assumes you're all crops. FarmRecord keeps spray, fertiliser and medicine together, and stores your other audit documents — risk assessments, health plan, farm map, policies — alongside them.
It doesn't write those documents for you; it's your records and your store. But it means there's one place to keep and produce everything, then export a branded audit pack for the period the assessor asks for — instead of scrambling through notebooks and spreadsheets.
Logged in the cab, even with no signal
Records save to your phone the moment you hit save, with or without a signal, and sync to your account automatically when you're back online. The record gets made when the job is fresh, not from memory back at the office.
Never get caught out by an expiry
Certificate and test dates are tracked with red/amber/green status and an email reminder before anything lapses — so a missed renewal doesn't turn into a non-conformance.
Questions farmers ask
What records does Red Tractor require?
At a minimum, an up-to-date trail of your plant-protection (spray), fertiliser and livestock-medicine applications, plus evidence that operator certificates are current. FarmRecord captures the fields each of these needs and keeps them in one place.
Does it cover everything in a Red Tractor assessment?
No single tool does — an assessment also covers health and safety, risk assessments, animal health plans and more. FarmRecord covers the recurring records that are the real faff (spray, fertiliser, medicine and certificates) and gives you a document store for the rest, so the whole pack is in one place. It makes the trail easy to keep and produce; it doesn't replace your responsibility for meeting the standard.
Do I need separate apps for spray and livestock?
No — that is the point. Spray, fertiliser and livestock medicine all use the same app and the same simple form, which is what makes it suit mixed farms.
Does it work offline?
Yes. It is offline-first, so you can log a record in the field with no signal and it syncs later.
