FarmLogs began as a way for farmers to keep records digitally instead of in notebooks. Growers could map their fields, log planting, spraying, and harvest activities, track inputs and costs, and see weather and satellite imagery for each field. The aim was to make it easier to understand what was working in a season, to meet record-keeping requirements, and to share information with advisors and landlords.
The product became part of Bushel, a company that provides software for grain buyers, farmers, and the supply chain. Under the name Bushel Farm, it connects farmers with grain markets and elevators, shows contract and delivery information, and supports tools for tracking grain inventory. Data from fields and grain marketing is brought into one view, and analytics help evaluate profitability.
Bushel Farm is available with free and paid options, depending on features and the grain buyers connected. Farmers should consider data ownership and sharing permissions, since information can be exchanged with partners. Alternatives include Climate FieldView, John Deere Operations Center, Granular, Trimble Ag, and Farmers Edge. Bushel Farm suits row crop farmers who want records and grain marketing tools in one place.
