Core features

Fieldmargin’s flexibility allows you to map and manage diverse crop rotations. As well as populated crops you can make your own field usages to track different species, and you can divide fields to record space left for nature to support a thriving ecosystem. Use notes and data monitoring sites to track farm biodiversity.

Recording crops, pasture management and livestock in one place makes fieldmargin perfect for mixed farms and arable farms integrating livestock, as well as pasture-based systems. Our livestock features are particularly suited to mob or holistic planned grazing. You can track grazing and rest days, use data monitoring sites to track soil health and sward height, and use sub-fields to map blocks or cells of pasture.

Fieldmargin helps you plan and document reduced tillage or no-till practices to protect beneficial soil organisms and maintain soil structure. Monitor fuel use to quantify the savings from not moving soil. Use field history and reports to compare the performance of fields during the transition to reduced tillage.

Fieldmargin allows you to plan and record the planting and management of cover crops, ensuring that your soil is always protected from erosion and extreme weather conditions. Use sub-fields to easily keep records of fields where cover and commercial crops are grown in a single season.

Make notes in fieldmargin of soil health and analysis, including visual assessments and lab results. Use note locations to plot where soil has been sampled so you can return to the same place when sampling again. Document the health of your crops across the seasons to monitor the impact of soil health, for example on water infiltration or retention.
