What it is

CropBook is bookkeeping software for Canadian grain farms, focused on receipts, expenses and farm tax records. It extracts vendor, amount, date and GST details from photographed receipts and grain tickets. Transactions are matched to supported CRA T2042 box codes, with manual review and override available. Its ledger shows income, expenses and net position, with filters for year, category and date range. Users can export a farm book as XLSX, CSV or QBO files, plus a ZIP of receipt images organized by box code; the QBO export is compatible with QuickBooks Online. CropBook is designed for grain operations in Alberta and Saskatchewan, including canola, wheat, barley, pea and mixed farms. It prepares records and exports but does not file tax returns; the user or accountant files with CRA. The free plan is free, with no credit card or subscription. CropBook is available on web and iOS. Records and receipt images are stored in Montréal, with backups in Canada.
