Farm — Plot

The problem

Farm knowledge was scattered across paper, chats, and memory. It couldn't answer the questions that matter — did we make money, did we build soil, did we empower the community — and it lived with whoever happened to write the note.

The solution

One calm place to log the work, track the animals and assets, reconcile the money, and keep the knowledge safe. It looks after three forms of wealth — financial, ecological, and social — rather than chasing yield alone, and it runs quietly on the farm's own hardware.

What it does

account_balance Finance & reconciliation

A unified double-entry ledger with a ~40-account chart of accounts, bank-statement reconciliation with a learning suggestion engine, invoicing, a cashbook, and a finance dashboard that shows which farm enterprises are healthy.

agriculture Cattle movement & grazing

Rotational grazing tracked as moves between paddocks, with per-paddock rest periods (grazing / resting / ready) rendered as coloured map borders and the herd's pin auto-relocated.

flight Drone mapping

Georeferenced drone imagery processed client-side in the browser, rendered as map overlays, and auto-linked to grazing moves — tying aerial imagery to management decisions.

view_kanban Team todo, planner & routines

A Kanban board with prioritisation scoring, a week-ahead planner, and recurring "heartbeat" routines in active and passive modes — so daily friction stays low.

map Map & spatial model

A unified GeoJSON model for every mappable asset — points, fences, paddock polygons — with water infrastructure (tanks, pumps, outlets) drawn directly on the map.

wifi_off Offline rapid logger

A mobile PWA using IndexedDB, camera, and audio recording that survives Wi-Fi dead zones and syncs later — so field capture never blocks on signal.

In the field

How it's built

Service-layer architecture — complex logic lives in ~60 service modules, not models or views; cross-service imports are lazy to avoid cycles.
Performance-minded — subquery annotations and query budgets tuned for the modest hardware it runs on.
A thorough test suite — ~456 Python tests, 8 Playwright end-to-end specs, and 48 UAT checklists.
Architecture guard — a custom static-analysis linter holds the codebase at 0 errors.
Local-first & white-label — an "appliance", not a SaaS dependency: it runs on farm hardware and is built so any regenerative farm can adopt the same software.

Outcomes

Live and in daily use on a working farm.
A recent snapshot shows 56 active entities and a ~40-account chart of accounts.
81 open tasks, with 16 completed in the prior week (17.5 hours logged) — a team that's genuinely using it every day.
Runs offline in field dead zones and on farm hardware.
