I think AgSquared has/had plans to include livestock eventually.  I think they are trying to start out doing a good job of a manageable piece of the pie, get the kinks worked out, and then expand it.

I started playing with it yesterday.  I'm about to log in today to do more setup, after which I'll compare to some home-grown planning tools along with Market Forms.  Not sure which I'll end up using as my main planning tool this year.  But AgSquared has some nice features (as I thrash around learning how to make stuff work).

 

Along similar lines, I'd be curious if anyone on the list involved with livestock has any favorite livestock management software.  I would have liked to find one piece of software to manage both the crops half and the livestock half of the farm.  But apparently that's more difficult than putting people on the moon.

Over a year ago a thread ran on this list about a new farm management software program in development called AgSquared. Its been a while but it appears to have been released, at least on a trial basis. You might find it interesting if you are running a farm business. You can check it out at http://www.agsquared.com/ . I have no financial interest in it. I just think it might be useful to folks on this list. I signed up for a trial membership so I could learn more about it. I do think it might be a good tool for managing a market farming business.
