Used to be good
Disappointed
Farm logs was better
Skeptical at first, but now use it everyday
Easy to check rain and satellite imagery, and love the JD connection.
Works great
Jam packed with usefulness
Forcing customers to pay for service after changing names
Response from developer
We understand change isn't always easy, but is sometimes necessary. Although we could have taken other paths to cover costs, like displaying third-party ads, we did not want to negatively impact our customers’ experience. Instead, we opted to provide the rainfall information at an economical price validated by thousands of Bushel Farm users. We did provide notice of this change several different ways, such as email and in app messages, but it's possible you missed those. If you'd like, we would be happy to look into exactly what happened. Please feel free to reach out to us by emailing support@bushelfarm.com.
What is once great but fell to greed
Response from developer
Hello, it's not possible to see in the mobile stores, but we do have Add-Ons available in our web app. We created an Add-On for rain after hearing from users that they don't always need all the features included in our Essentials plan. The Rain and Heat History is $10/month through the FarmLogs web app. Recent rainfall and YTD rainfall totals are still included in the free plan, FarmLogs Lite. You can read more about all the options here: farmlogs.com/pricing. It’s necessary to charge for our services so we can continue to provide and improve them, but we understand the new plans may not work for everyone.
Greedy
Response from developer
At Bushel, we can appreciate that change isn’t always welcome or easy, and yet we also acknowledge that it is sometimes necessary. While we were able to maintain a free rainfall offering for over 10 years, that model was no longer sustainable due to rising costs associated with development, maintenance, and support. Although we could have taken other paths to cover our costs, like displaying third-party ads inside the app, we did not want to do anything that may negatively impact our customers’ experience. Instead, we opted to provide the rainfall information at an economical price validated by thousands of Bushel Farm users. We never want to disappoint any of our users, and yet we also know that the new Basic Rainfall plan may not be the right fit for everyone. If you'd like to discuss further, please reach out to us at support@bushelfarm.com.

We appreciate your feedback. FarmLogs joined Bushel in 2021 and recently updated the app name to Bushel Farm in 2023. Bushel is committed to a positive user experience and we know that FarmLogs was highly regarded for its rainfall accuracy, so we have not made any adjustments to rainfall reporting. We would be happy to dig into any issues you have experienced if you'd like to reach out to us by emailing support@bushelfarm.com.
