Is there an all-in-one platform that handles both crops and livestock?

Yes. Several farm management platforms record and manage crops and livestock inside one system, and software directories list dozens of products filtered specifically for combined crop and livestock management.[6] For a mixed or diversified operation, the practical question is not whether such a tool exists, but how deeply it covers each side of the farm and whether that depth matches how you actually work.

These platforms tend to come from three different starting points, which is worth knowing before you compare them, because a tool built for one kind of farm often carries its origins into how it handles the rest.

Whole-farm tools built for diversified operations

Some products are designed from the start to run an entire farm in one place. Farmbrite is a common example, since it keeps crop seasons, animal and herd records, farm accounting, inventory, and mapping together and describes itself as a whole-farm platform that works regardless of what you grow or raise.[1] Tools in this group usually target small and mid-size farms that raise animals and grow crops on the same land and want one set of records rather than a separate spreadsheet for each enterprise.

Enterprise agriculture ERPs

Larger operations often reach for an agriculture ERP that adds crop and animal management on top of finance, inventory, and supply-chain modules. Folio3's AgriERP pairs crop management with animal management, including breeding, health and treatment history, feed, grazing, and herd inventory, aimed at agribusinesses that need reporting across the whole value chain.[3][10]

Open-source record keeping

farmOS is a free, open-source, web-based application that keeps both crop and livestock records and runs on the Drupal framework, which lets farms and researchers extend it.[5] It suits operations that want to own their data and are comfortable self-hosting or working with a host rather than paying for a subscription app.

Farmbrite runs an entire mixed farm in a single system, covering crop season planning and field tracking, animal and herd records, farm accounting, inventory, and mapping.[1] It positions itself as a whole-farm platform that works regardless of what you grow or raise, which is the core promise a diversified operation is testing when it asks for one tool instead of several.[1]

The pricing splits along how you farm. Crop-only and livestock-only plans each start at $29 per month, while the Complete plans that combine both run from $59 per month for up to 300 animals to $109 per month for 5,000 or more animals, with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required to start.[2] For a farm that both grows and raises, the Complete tier is the fair comparison, since the single-enterprise plans cover only one side of the operation.[2]

Farmbrite tends to fit small and mid-size diversified farms that want approachable records with accounting built in rather than a heavy rollout. If your animal count runs into the thousands or you need deep row-crop agronomy, check the plan limits and feature depth against your operation before you settle on it.[2]

AgriERP, from Folio3, is an enterprise agriculture ERP that carries both crop management and animal management as distinct product lines.[3][10] On the livestock side it covers breeding optimization, animal health monitoring, feed and ration management, grazing management, and herd inventory, and on the crop side it handles planning, scouting, irrigation, pest management, and harvest.[3]

This class of software targets agribusinesses that need finance, inventory, and supply-chain reporting across the whole operation, not just field or barn records.[3] Because it is an ERP rather than a light app, expect a scoped implementation and custom pricing rather than a self-serve monthly plan, which is worth budgeting for when you set it beside a whole-farm subscription tool.[3]

The fit here is larger, multi-enterprise operations and processors that already run structured finance and want crop and livestock data inside the same reporting layer.[10] Smaller farms often find an ERP heavier than they need, so whether it makes sense depends on operational scale and on having someone to own the system day to day.

AgriWebb starts from livestock and adds cropping and pasture management around it, which makes it a fit for grazing operations that also plant feed or cash crops.[4] It describes itself as livestock management software and centers on cattle and sheep, tracking animal performance, weight gains, pregnancy status, mob movements, and grazing rotations, with paddock and cropping records and financial reporting on those crops layered in.[4]

The cropping features support integrated grazing rather than standing in for a full agronomy platform, so a heavy row-crop grower would likely find them lighter than a crop-first tool offers.[4] For a cattle or sheep operation that grows forage and rotates paddocks, having pasture, grazing, and cropping records beside the herd data in one place is the whole point.[4]

The fit is grazing-led beef and sheep farms that want strong livestock tools first and enough cropping and pasture tracking to manage feed and rotations without running a second system.[4]

farmOS is a free, open-source, web-based application that keeps crop and livestock records together and is built on the Drupal framework.[5] It manages assets such as plantings, animals, land, and equipment along with activity and observation logs, and its code is public, so farms, developers, and researchers can extend it for their own needs.[5]

The trade-off is ownership in exchange for effort. You control your own data and pay no license fee, but you either self-host or work with a hosting provider, and shaping the platform to your operation usually takes more setup than a ready-made commercial app.[5] For farms that value data ownership, want to avoid vendor lock-in, or have technical help on hand, that trade can be worth making.[5]

The fit is operations comfortable with open-source tooling that want both crop and animal records under their own control rather than inside a subscription product.[5]

Match the platform to the side of your farm that is hardest to manage, because the biggest risk with an all-in-one tool is thin coverage where you need it most. A product can list both crops and livestock and still be shallow on one of them, which is why the label alone tells you very little.

Check depth on your weaker enterprise

Look hard at whichever half of your operation is more complex, whether that is agronomy or animal health, and confirm the platform covers it in detail rather than as a checkbox. A livestock-first tool such as AgriWebb keeps working cropping records around a herd core, while crop-focused platforms such as Agrivi and FarmERP center on agronomy and agribusiness without livestock modules, so a tool's origins shape what it does well.[4][7][8]

Confirm accounting and inventory are included

Decide whether you want farm accounting and inventory inside the same system or connected to separate books. Farmbrite builds accounting in, while an ERP like AgriERP puts crop and animal data inside a larger finance layer, and each approach changes how you close your books at year end.[1][3]

Weigh vendor stability and consolidation

Ag software changes hands often, so factor in how stable the product is likely to be. Conservis, a well-known crop ERP, was acquired by Traction Ag in December 2023 and folded into a larger crop-focused suite, which shows how quickly a product's roadmap and focus can shift after an acquisition.[9]

Size the implementation honestly

Weigh how much setup you can absorb. A self-serve monthly app gets you started in a day, an open-source platform asks for technical setup, and an enterprise ERP involves a scoped rollout, so the right choice depends on your team and timeline as much as on the feature list.[3][5]

An all-in-one farm platform is a record-keeping and management system, not a guarantee of equal depth on both sides and not a replacement for every specialized tool. Naming the boundaries helps you avoid expecting one product to do everything on the farm.

It is not automatically deep on both crops and livestock

A platform that lists crop and livestock features can still be strong on one and light on the other. Directory filters show dozens of products with combined coverage, but coverage on paper is not the same as depth in practice, so verify the side that matters most to you.[6]

It is not a precision-ag or guidance system

Whole-farm software handles records, planning, and finances, not in-cab machine guidance, variable-rate application, or sensor telemetry. Those come from precision-ag hardware and platforms that many of these tools connect to rather than replace.[3]

It is not only an accounting package

Farm accounting is one piece of these platforms, not the whole of them. A tool like Farmbrite includes bookkeeping alongside crop and animal management, which is different from a standalone farm accounting product that tracks money but not agronomy or herd health.[1]

It is not a specialized breeding or genetics tool

General livestock modules cover health, breeding, and grazing at a working level, so a large purebred or genetics operation may still want a dedicated herd-registry or performance-records system beside the all-in-one platform.[3]
