Phase review
Crop planning and farm records, with connected machinery data and variable-rate tools on Ultra.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Crop planning, paddock records and day-to-day farm administration sit together in Phase, farm-management software from Phase Ag for Australian broadacre operations. Plans can include products, rates, timing, costs and notes, while the farm map brings together paddock plans, soil, yield and history. Teams can record spraying, seeding, harvest and other activities, and also track inventory, grain storage, deliveries, livestock and machinery servicing. That range makes Phase relevant to farms seeking one place for crop work and operational records, rather than a tool focused only on mapping or prescriptions.
The plan distinction matters for farms considering precision-agriculture workflows. Phase Pro includes farm-management features, with users marking completed work themselves. Phase Ultra adds connected-machine data and Phase Spatial: supported machine accounts can supply completed jobs, machine maps, yield maps and engine hours, while Spatial provides zones and variable-rate prescriptions. Weather forecasts and spraying conditions are included among the listed capabilities. The 14-day trial is full Ultra and requires no card, so farms can assess the higher-tier feature set before choosing a subscription; it is a trial, not a free plan.
Its ecosystem includes John Deere Operations Center, CNH FieldOps, Origo.ag, several listed weather services and stations, and supported bulk handlers. Web, iOS and Android access, plus CSV, XLSX and PDF exports, support work across field and office contexts. The product is specifically described for Australian broadacre farms, so operations outside that setting should weigh whether its fit and listed integrations suit their workflows. Farms wanting crop plans and broad recordkeeping with optional VRA on Ultra are the clearest fit; teams that need variable-rate features in the base tier or a free ongoing plan should look elsewhere.
