Case Study: Farmplan helps Reed Court Farms manage records and stay compliant with Gatekeeper

Helping Reed Court Farms manage field, crop and stock records

Reed Court Farms in Tonbridge, Kent, run by Jane and Jonathan Tipples, manages 650 acres of mixed arable land, pasture and contracting work. With crop, stock, spray and office records split across different people and activities, they needed a better way to keep everything accurate, up to date and visible to everyone involved. Vendor Proagrica supported them with Farmplan’s Gatekeeper cropping software.

Using Proagrica’s Farmplan Gatekeeper, Reed Court Farms centralised field, crop and stock records, linked with agronomist input, and improved planning, compliance and traceability. The system helped Jane check stock levels, catch discrepancies in spray areas, keep Jonathan informed, and maintain accurate store records more easily; it also supported legal applications, assurance, RPA and nutrient management requirements through its Sentinel and PLANET databases.
