farmOS¶

farmOS is an open-source web-based farm management, planning, and record-keeping application built on Drupal, commonly self-hosted. In this vault it is the canonical named product for rich asset and log models, geometry-friendly records, and integration discussions—not a generic synonym for “farm database.”

Official project: farmOS.org (external).

Why an entity page

• Referenced across telemetry SoR, spatial registry, comparisons, and topic hubs; a single entity avoids repeating product definition on every analysis.
