What's changed in FarmFlow, newest first. Small fixes go out most weeks; this list has the ones you'll notice on the farm. Updates arrive on their own — there's nothing to install.
Working in any FarmFlow tab now keeps you logged in everywhere. You're only logged out after 30 minutes with nothing touched in any tab, with a warning first. If a save can't go through because your login has ended, FarmFlow now says so — what you typed stays on the page, so you can log in and press Save again.
Every farm is backed up each night, with an encrypted copy kept away from our main servers. This month we restored every farm's off-site copy into a brand-new database and checked that every record came back exactly. How we look after your data.
If we need to work on one part of FarmFlow, that part shows a 🛠 in the menu and a notice on its pages, and stays readable while saving is paused. Everything else keeps working as usual.
At the end of your free trial you can pick Essentials, Farm or Pro, monthly or yearly, and pay by card. Prices are in NZ dollars with no GST added. From your account you can update your card, download invoices or switch plan, and ask to cancel any time. See pricing.
The Dashboard, Payout and Reports pages now open in well under a second, even with more than 1,000 cows.
When you upload a farm map, FarmFlow shows what it found before saving, and the last upload can be undone. Paddock boundaries can now be edited on the map.
A new 🛰️ Satellite tab on the Pasture page estimates pasture cover from satellite images, alongside your own walks.
Hover over a paddock on the feed wedge to see when it was last grazed, or "Grazing now" if stock are on it.
The feed wedge has a red target line and shows your surplus or deficit. Round length and growth use the standard industry method, counting shut-up silage paddocks the way your consultant would.
Supplement amounts can now be entered as 2.5, 0.75 and so on.
Walks entered on your phone follow the same rules as on the computer and always save to the right farm.
Click a paddock on the wedge to mark it grazed and enter its post-graze cover. Got it wrong? "Not grazed — back in the round" puts it back.
Bold sunlight colours, the paddock width where you're standing, and today's herd, cow numbers and grass offered filled in from FarmFlow — so the app tells you how far to move the fence.
The Pasture Overview opens on your latest walk, today, or a few days ahead. Plan a shut-up straight from the wedge and see how it changes your cover, and see days of feed above target.
Importing your herd now goes one step at a time: animals, location, status, herd, then records. Young stock have their own status, and cows can be kept in herd groups.
Record separate AM and PM paddocks for each milking herd, rename or hide herd columns, and keep Google Sheets sync from adding stray herds.
Grazing quick entry, pasture walks, cow health events and tasks can be entered out in the paddock with no signal. They're kept on your phone and sent when you're back in range — "Sync now" shows what's waiting.
Each cow's location comes across from your NAIT records, and you can filter the herd by group or location.
