Farm Sage :: Farm Management for Android
Dustin Sage, a fifth generation Iowa farmer, was frustrated with the complex nature and lack of data control of leading mobile agriculture apps. He wanted full-access to his farm stats from anywhere at anytime with the ability to download, file and analyze the data at his convenience. His solution was to create an app that met the basic record keeping needs of himself and fellow farmers.
"I realized there had to be a better way to manage my operation. I wanted to easily track my production costs and find ways to be more profitable while having total control of my data. Recording things like product application rates, farm yields, and equipment usage in other farm management programs was complicated and they didn’t let me download my own information in a format I could actually use. On top of all that, writing stuff down in the field and typing it in at the end of the day was a hassle – and it usually just didn’t happen. I built Farm Sage because I wanted to save time and money, and no other tool was able to do that."

App works really well, and makes it easy to keep good records. My only issue is not being able to add any tractors. And not sure if I just haven't found it yet, but a good idea would be to also add the ability to take pictures of receipts and equipment to go along with the information.
Great idea, consider adding inventory for custom hay making.
I couldn't get it to work. Kept getting null errors.
I like all the potential this has to help keep records simplistically, but until I can add tractors and trucks out is not mush use.
I like this app except I am unable to add tractors, some weird alert comes up. Please fix this!
I grow hay and cattle on pasture does not work for me
It a very good game
Great way to pass time
