Bilingual workforce management built with — and for — a four-generation Tillamook dairy. 10-second clock-in. Works in cell dead zones. Oregon overtime tracked the way the state needs to see it. AEOTC records ready to file in January. The audit trail builds itself in real time.

Six hours of payroll. For six employees. Just sitting down to do it.

Cross-checking paper time tickets against bin counts. Hand-calculating Oregon overtime. Hoping the AEOTC numbers are right when tax season rolls around.

Inside the system

Built for the way Oregon actually farms.

Four capabilities. Each one shaped by a real conversation with the farm we built this with — and the farms that joined after.

01
Readiness · reminders · forecast

We remember the rules so you can run the farm.

Heat-rest reminders before the temperature hits 80°F. The 48-hour overtime line on your dashboard mid-week — not after payroll. AEOTC reminders the week before the January application window. Every clock-in, geofence event, heat-rest interval, and piece-rate adjustment is timestamped, hashed, and exportable. When BOLI asks, records are organized for review in minutes.

Geofence

Pastures, fields, and every block in between.

A working farm isn't one parcel. It's pastures, lots, blocks, and fields stitched across thousands of acres. Every zone mapped. Clock-in tied to the land, not to a foreman's word.

Bilingual

Spanish-first, not bolt-on.

Every screen, every paystub, every notification — native EN/ES. Your foreman messages the crew in Spanish. Your office reads the audit trail in English. The same record, two languages, no translation lag.

Piece-rate

The math runs itself.

Bins, lugs, totes, pounds, pints, flats, boxes. Every Oregon crop has its own counting unit, its own rate, its own minimum-wage backfill calculation. We learned them so your office doesn't have to.

The crop they named after the county.

Marionberries were bred at Oregon State in 1956. Hand-picked, piece-rate, harvested at 4 AM when the cool keeps the drupelets intact. Every variety, every county, every harvest window — FarmTC was built for this.

Eleven farm types, one operating system.

We built the four capabilities above for Oregon's most labor-intensive crop types. The same engine runs everything else.

Dairy

Tillamook to Linn County.

Parlor shifts. Milking rotations. Salaried-hourly hybrids. Grade A retention compliance.

Tillamook & Linn County
Highest year-round OT exposure
Parlor shifts, milking rotations, salaried-hourly hybrids. Up to 12% wage increase at the 40-hour threshold. AEOTC credits offset.
PIECE-RATE · HOURLY · SALARIED · ALL HANDLED
Grass seed & grain

Linn County grass seed.

Swather, combine, and cleaning crews. A three-week weather window means twelve-hour days. Hourly plus seasonal overtime, every break on record.

Linn & Marion County
90% of US grass seed
Oregon grows the nation's cool-season grass seed. Tight weather windows push 12-hour days through spray, harvest, and cleaning. FarmTC keeps every shift, break, and weather pause on one timeline.
HOURLY · OT · WEATHER WINDOWS
Christmas trees

Clackamas County Christmas trees.

Shearing crews through summer. Cut and bale in November. Seasonal H-2A and local labor, both on the same record.

Clackamas & Marion County
Oregon = top US producer
Year-round shearing rolls into a six-week November harvest. H-2A documentation, piece-rate baling, and end-of-season payouts all stay tied to the row and the worker.
SEASONAL · H-2A · PIECE-RATE
Nurseries

Washington County nurseries.

Greenhouse staff on salaried-hourly hybrids. Field crews on piece-rate transplanting. Same payroll run, same export, same record.

Washington & Marion County
Oregon's #1 ag sector
Nursery and greenhouse is Oregon's top-grossing commodity. Year-round salaried-hourly hybrids meet seasonal piece-rate transplanting on one payroll run, with §778.115 weighted average handled automatically.

The economics

What is your office time worth each year?

Enter the payroll prep time your team already knows. The estimate uses only the assumptions shown here.

Formula shown: 6 x 26 x $50

Hours per pay period x pay periods per year x office-time value. Actual results depend on your current workflow and payroll setup.

Estimated office-time value
$7,800

That's 156 office hours per year based on the assumptions shown here.

FarmTC helps keep time and payroll records organized for Oregon BOLI review; it does not replace legal or tax advice.

Oregon AEOTC estimator

Check the overtime credit context while the numbers are still fresh.

FarmTC uses the same public AEOTC rules service here and inside the dashboard, so this estimate lines up with the readiness report your team can prepare from timecards and payroll context.

Estimate only. Confirm filing steps and tax treatment with your CPA, tax preparer, or advisor.

The codes · by name

Every Oregon code. Handled.

Most ag SaaS lists 'compliance' as a feature. Here are the actual Oregon statutes — by code — that FarmTC was built around. If you don't know them by code, you don't understand the operation.

HANDLED
HB 4002

Oregon ag overtime, phased.

48-hour threshold today, dropping to 40 by 2027. Auto-calculated, with seasonal exemption windows applied per crop and county.

HANDLED
ORS 315.133 · ORS 315.135

AEOTC · the overtime tax credit Oregon owes you.

Oregon refunds a share of every overtime dollar you pay agricultural workers. Dairy farms under 25 FTE: 100% — and that rate doesn't phase out. Other Oregon farms: 30%–80% depending on size and tax year. The condition: track hours, breaks, and overtime in the format the state's application expects, week by week. In 2024, only $5.1M of the $55M annual cap was claimed — most farms left their share on the table because the records were too hard to assemble after the fact. FarmTC tracks the right things in the right format from the first clock-in. Application window opens January 1 each year. Not tax advice — confirm eligibility with your CPA.

HANDLED
OAR 437-004-1135

OSHA heat-illness rule.

Rest-break rules at 80°F+, escalating cycles at 90°F+. Logged automatically against the geofenced clock-in.

HANDLED
OAR 839-020

BOLI wage & hour records.

Three-year retention, employer-of-record metadata, separation pay timing. Built in.

HANDLED
20 CFR 655 · 29 CFR 778.112 · 516

H-2A · day-rate · recordkeeping.

Federal H-2A program, day-rate regular-rate floor, mixed-basis weighted average, 29 CFR 516 recordkeeping. Integrates with WAFLA and OFLC filings.
