You can use LivestockCosts farm management to organise farms, infrastructure, production cycles, daily records and checks. Ongoing farm-management plans are separate from time-based calculator passes. Explore farm management.

Farm records and assigned-reviewer checks provide a starting point. We plan to expand compliance workflows and connect with Carry Farm, an African marketplace. That integration is not yet available, and recording checks does not automatically certify a farm or approve its products for a market.

No. Planning passes are one-time purchases: all calculators for US$1 per day, US$5 for 7 days or US$12 for 30 days. Calculators + AI cost US$2, US$8 or US$18 for the same durations. AI includes 3 attempts per UTC day, shared across all AI tools, with one attempt per minute. Sign-in is required for AI; unsuccessful requests also count. Monthly farm-management plans are separate.

When payment is confirmed. Every calculator opens for your chosen 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days. Buying another pass does not increase the daily AI limit. There is no automatic renewal.

Yes. Explore solar and energy, water, broilers, layers, pigs or refrigeration. Change your costs and assumptions to compare scenarios before buying equipment or starting production.

Use current supplier and buyer quotes, your expected scale and operating costs. For solar and refrigeration, obtain equipment energy and throughput specifications. Results are estimates, not guaranteed returns.

Choose a duration and whether to include AI, enter your details, accept the terms and select the payment button. You complete payment on Stripe. Access opens after payment is confirmed.
