About
Careers
Agrivencia brings the whole of a UK farm business into one record — cropping, livestock, land, water, inputs, machinery, schemes, compliance, carbon, markets and people — and makes that record do the paperwork that currently takes days.
The platform is designed around three convictions. First, that the work on a farm is already being done correctly and it is the recording of it that is duplicated. Second, that devolution is a design constraint rather than an inconvenience, so each nation is a first-class tenancy rather than an exception bolted onto an English system. Third, that a platform asking for farm data has to be legible before it can be trusted, which is why the evidence standards, the data charter and the commercial terms are all published in full.
None of that requires you to adopt everything at once. Most businesses start with the land record and the scheme engine, because those are the two that pay for themselves inside the first window, and add modules as the record earns its keep.
Why Agrivencia
What makes this different from another farm software package
Most farm software solves one problem well and leaves the rest to spreadsheets and portals. Agrivencia is built as one record with many views.
One record, many outputs
Enter a field operation once and it populates the agronomy record, the assurance audit pack, the scheme evidence file and the carbon footprint without being retyped.
Four nations, properly
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each run different schemes, portals, identifiers and language obligations. Each is a first-class tenancy, not an exception.
Rules as data
Scheme rules are stored as data, not code. When a rate changes or a window closes, the platform updates the same day rather than waiting for a release.
Offline first
Only around a fifth of farms report reliable signal across the whole holding. Field capture works without a connection and synchronises when one returns.
Evidence, graded
Every published figure is labelled by source tier, and conflicting estimates are shown as conflicts rather than quietly resolved in favour of the convenient one.
Your data, portable
The Farm Data Charter gives you a complete export in open formats at any time. Lock-in is a commercial strategy, not a technical necessity.
Work
Roles on UK holdings
Permanent, seasonal and contract work, with the pay basis and the statutory position stated plainly — including where the Seasonal Worker visa route applies and what it obliges an employer to do.
| Role | Type | Pay basis | What to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Herdsperson | Permanent | Salary | Accommodation often part of the package; the offset rules are specific. |
| Tractor driver | Seasonal | Hourly | Working time and rest break rules apply during harvest. |
| Harvest operative | Seasonal | Hourly | Seasonal Worker visa route where applicable. |
| Agronomy assistant | Permanent | Salary | BASIS training usually expected within the first year. |
| Relief milker | Contract | Per milking | Self-employed status must be genuine; the tests are strict. |
| Farm secretary | Part time | Hourly | Often shared across several holdings. |
What an employer has to do
- National Minimum and Living Wage Rates change each April. Accommodation offset is capped and counts toward the calculation.
- Agricultural Wages Order Still in force in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, with different grades and rates in each.
- Right to work checks Required before the first day, with a statutory excuse only if done correctly.
- Employer's liability insurance Compulsory, and the certificate must be accessible to employees.
- Gangmaster licensing Required for labour providers in agriculture; using an unlicensed provider is an offence.
Getting started
What you need to hand
Setting up takes about twenty minutes for a single holding. Nothing here needs to be perfect on day one; the platform will help you correct it.
Questions answered
The questions we get asked most
Is Agrivencia a government service?
No. Agrivencia is a private platform designed to integrate with government systems across all four nations. It is built to government digital and accessibility standards, and it is proposed to government as an integration and delivery partner, but it is not a public body and does not speak for one.
How much does it cost?
There is a free tier that covers scheme discovery, deadline tracking and the land record, because those are the things that cost farmers money when they go wrong. Paid tiers add application management, optimisation, adviser seats and the commercial modules.
What if I only want one part of it?
That is the normal way to start. Most businesses begin with the scheme engine or the land record and add modules as they need them. Nothing requires you to adopt all eighty-four.
Is it available in Welsh?
Welsh language provision is a legal expectation for services in Wales and is treated as a requirement rather than a translation project. Gaelic content is provided for Scotland where relevant.
How accessible is it?
The platform is built to meet WCAG 2.2 at level AA, with a full keyboard path, captions and audio description on video, and an assisted-digital route for people who do not want to do everything online.
What happens to my data if I leave?
You take it with you. A complete export in open formats is available at any time, and account closure follows a published retention and deletion schedule.
Who is behind it?
Agrivencia is an independent platform business. Our evidence standards, data charter and commercial terms are published in full because a platform asking for farm data should be legible before it is trusted.
