Not a replacement for your agronomist
Grain Manager handles the harvest-year operations side. It's a calm home for the records, not an agronomy tool.
How it works
From drilling to delivery, in five practical steps.
Grain Manager is built around the rhythm of a real harvest year. Set things up once, and the same record flows from the field to the weighbridge to the merchant — without being typed twice.

1
Set up your stores and bins
Lay out your sites, stores and bins with their capacities. This is the map Grain Manager uses for everything that follows — moisture readings, treatments, capacity tracking and audit records.
One-off setup, takes about 30 minutes for a typical farm.
-
2
Add the year's crop lots
Each combinable crop becomes a lot with a variety, harvest year and target spec. Lots can come from one field or several — and they move into the stores as you bring them in.
A lot stays with you from harvest through drying, storage, sampling and dispatch.

3
Record contracts as you agree them
When you commit tonnage to a merchant, record the contract once — counterparty, tonnage, price, spec, movement window. Grain Manager keeps a running total of what's sold and what's left across the year.
Forward, spot and pool. So when prices move, you know exactly what you've got to play with.

Fill in passports on the weighbridge
When a load goes out, open Grain Manager on a phone or tablet at the weighbridge. The store, lot and contract are already there. Add the haulier, vehicle, ticket and tonnage, sign on glass — done. PDF emailed to the merchant.
Under a minute per load. Works offline if the signal drops.

5
Open a tab — not a filing cabinet
When the auditor turns up, you don't dig through a shoebox. Records, hygiene, treatments and movements are pulled together into clean summaries by store, by lot, by contract. Designed to support Red Tractor combinable-crop assurance.
Export to CSV or PDF whenever you need to.
What it isn't
It's not another ERP. It's farm software you'll actually open.
No three-day onboarding. No consultant required. Open it on a tablet on day one, get a useful piece of work done before lunch.
Not a marketplace
You sell to whoever you want. Grain Manager records the contracts, it doesn't take a clip on the deal.
Not a black box
Everything you put in, you can pull back out — as a CSV, a PDF, or as a tidy report for the auditor.
