Traction Ag

What Traction Ag is

Traction Ag is cloud-based farm accounting and business management software for production row crop farms. It brings inventory, input costs, crop-year financials, field activity, bills, invoices and prepay management into one system. As inputs reach a field, the platform calculates per-acre and per-bushel breakevens. Reports include cash and accrual accounting, Schedule F, 1099s and field profitability.

John Deere Operations Center and Climate FieldView can provide farm and field names, boundaries and field records. Other listed integrations include FS Billing, Keystone Cooperative, Paylocity, Plaid and Zenwork Tax 1099. Traction Mobile supports field task management, account balance viewing, payment recording and receipt capture. The product supports more than 100 crop types and customizable harvest units.

Traction Ag lists Basic at $95 per month, Plus at $195 per month and Pro at $395 per month. Basic includes multiple entities in one subscription, bank and credit card sync, cash-based accounting reports, Schedule F and 1099s, and payroll integration. Higher plans add field profitability and activities, inventory management, bills and invoices, land agreements, budgeting and accrual reports. Traction says it does not track individual animals or livestock groups, though livestock-related income and expenses can be managed.
