📘 Screen: Farm/Branch
The farm is where the operation happens: fields, seasons, inventory, fleet and work orders all depend on it. "Fazenda São Camilo", "Complexo São Pedro", "Syngenta MT": each property or unit becomes a farm within the company.
In the system, farm and branch are the same thing. The double name exists because the unit is both the rural property and the tax and financial level: when you log in to upCampo, you choose the company and then the farm, and that pair decides everything you'll see from then on.

🧩 Main function
Register each unit in the group, with address, coordinates, time zone and logo, and (on the Tax settings tab) the details of whoever issues invoices for it.
📝 Main fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Company | Required. Which group the farm belongs to. It's only chosen at creation: when you open a farm that has already been saved, the field is locked; a farm doesn't change companies. |
| Code | A short code for the unit, the way the farm already uses it: 01,
005, FAZ. It's left blank in many records. |
| Legal name/Name | Required. The unit's official name. |
| Trade name | What the unit is called day to day. It's the name shown in the farm selection at login and in report headers. |
| Phone · Street · District · Number · ZIP code | The unit's address and contact. |
| City (selection) | Required. Pick the city from the list: it automatically fills in the text city field and the state. Only when no city is selected can you type the name by hand. |
| Entity | Links the farm to the matching Entity record; useful when the unit itself appears as a party in documents from another farm in the group. |
| Map registration | The property's registration number (CAR, deed registration), stored as record information. |
| E-mail · Website | The unit's contacts. |
| Latitude · Longitude | Coordinates of the farm headquarters. This is what centers the maps
on the home screen dashboards (weather, traps) and the interpolated pest map. Leaving them at
0.0 makes the map open somewhere outside the farm. |
| Time zone | The offset in hours, in the format -04, -03.
It's used to stamp the date and time when issuing the MDF-E (Brazilian electronic cargo manifest).
|
| Currency code · Currency code 2 · Currency code 3 | Currency symbols used by the unit:
R$ in Brazil, and the others for operations outside the country. |
| Cloud storage ID | Identifier of the farm's folder in cloud storage. The system uses it to create the field and season folders in Drive; without this field filled in, the File tab of the Season has nowhere to save. |
| John Deere ID (integration) | Identifier of the farm's organization at John Deere. The John Deere connection button next to it shows the company's connected John Deere accounts, generates the link to connect a new account and fills in this field through the Use in this farm button; then just save. Anyone without access to this screen can ask the upCampo team for the link. The step-by-step is in How the John Deere integration works. |
| Active | Uncheck it to take the farm out of use without deleting its history. |
| Require access reason | Check it to require a written reason from anyone
who logs in to this farm. It only takes effect together with the same option in the
user record: the reason is requested when the
farm and the person are both checked; that's how you require it from consultants and support without
getting in the way of your own team. The text is stored in File > Access log. |
| Logo image name · Choose Logo | The logo printed in report headers. Upload a JPEG or PNG with the Choose Logo button: the file name is filled in automatically, and the system reminds you that you must save the record to confirm. |
The list shows Code, Legal name/Name, Active and Trade name, with a search on each column.
🗂 Tax settings tab
Inside the farm record there is the Tax settings tab, with the list of settings already registered for that unit and the form to add another. It's the same content as the Tax settings screen in the menu; the difference is that here you see the settings for the farm that is open, while from the menu you see those of the farm you're logged into.
Watch out: the farm must be saved before you save the tax setting. If you try to save both at once, the system warns you.
🔒 What the screen won't let you do
- Delete the farm you are logged into
- Change the company of a farm that has already been saved
To take a unit out of use, uncheck Active; the history can still be consulted.
- Fields, inventory, fleet and orders have somewhere to live
- The dashboard maps open already centered on the property
- Reports come out with the right unit's name and logo
- Invoice issuing has somewhere to look, through the Tax settings tab
❓ Frequently asked questions
I have three properties. Do I register three farms or just one?
It depends on how you manage them. If each property has its own inventory, fleet and results, they're three farms. If all three are run as a single operation (same warehouse, same crew, same cost), one farm with three sectors is usually less work.
The home screen map opens in the wrong place. How do I fix it?
Fill in Latitude and Longitude in the farm record. Those
coordinates center the dashboard maps. As long as both are at 0.0, the map
opens at some random point on the globe.
How do I put the farm logo on reports?
In the farm record, click Choose Logo and upload a JPEG or PNG file. The file name appears in the field next to it and, after that, save the record; uploading alone isn't enough.
Can I move a farm to another company?
Not from the screen: as soon as the farm is saved, the Company field is locked. If the record was created in the wrong company and has no activity yet, the way to go is to register it again in the right company and deactivate the wrong record.
How do I require a consultant to state the reason when logging in to the farm?
There are two options, and both must be turned on. In the farm record, check
Require access reason; then, in File > Users, check the
same field in the record of each person you want to require it from (usually consultants and support).
From then on, when that person logs in to that farm, the system asks for a written reason for the access
before opening the system, and stores the text in the access log.
