Headland

Field mapping & records for sugarcane growers.

Simple enough for anyone on the crew. No training, no manual, no middleman.

Headland crop map: every block colored by its cut, from plant cane to last stubble

A real Headland crop map. Block colors show each field's cut.

The middle ground cane farming never had

Farmers got handed two bad options. Headland is the one in between.

The old stuff

Desktop programs from the 2000s, stuck on one aging PC. Slow, hard to get help with, and one dead hard drive away from losing ten years of records.

The new stuff

Bloated platforms stuffed with AI buzzwords that look great in a demo and do nothing in the field. You need a consultant before you can map a single block.

Headland

The middle. Modern and cloud-backed, opens on any phone, and simple enough to use the day you sign up. Everything you need to run your cane, nothing you don't.

Every field, every cut, on one map.

Map every acre

Draw field boundaries on satellite. Auto-calculate acreage on save — pick acres or arpents per farm.

Track every ratoon

Tag each field with variety (HoCP, L-series, CP-series), plant date, and current cut. Plant cane through last stubble — visible at a glance.

Harvest history that lasts

Log tonnage and harvest dates per field, season after season. Your whole history in one place — not a binder in the shop.

Log every spray

Record each spray with product, rate, and the wind direction and speed at the time — per field, ready whenever you need to show it.

Print maps for the crew

Print a clean crop map — blocks colored by cut, no satellite clutter. Hand the crew exactly what to run, plantation by plantation.

Scout from the truck

Drop a pin from your phone, snap a photo of the washout or weed patch, send it back to the office instantly.

Bring your old records over

Export a shapefile from your old desktop program and we load your fields for you, free. The day that old PC finally dies, you’re already moved.

Built for the cane belt

Louisiana parishes, Florida counties. Acres or arpents. Variety lists that match what your state actually plants.

Straight answers

What is Headland?+

Headland is field mapping and recordkeeping built only for sugarcane. Draw your blocks on a satellite map, track variety and cut on each one, log harvests and sprays, and print a clean field sheet for the crew — all in one place you can open from the truck.

How much does it cost?+

Fifty cents an acre per year. A 1,000-acre farm is $500 a year; 4,000 acres is $2,000. No setup fee, your crew’s printed sheets are included, and there’s a 14-day free trial with no card.

Is it really just for sugarcane?+

Yes. Headland only does cane, in Louisiana and Florida. The variety lists, the ratoon cuts, the field operations — all of it is built around how cane is actually grown, not bent to fit from a corn-and-soybean tool.

Can I move my fields over from my old program?+

Yes, and we do it for you, free. If your old desktop software can export a shapefile or KML, send it over and we load your fields so nothing has to be retyped.

Does every worker need a login?+

No. You run the records; your crew works off printed sheets, and those are free and unlimited. You pay per acre, not per person.

Will it work on my phone out in the field?+

Yes. Drop a pin on a wet hole or a weed patch, snap a photo, and it shows up on the map back at the office. Nothing to install.

Can I get my acreage out for FSA?+

Yes. Export your fields as a shapefile and print clean maps whenever you need them — for the FSA office, a buyer, or an inspector.

Who builds Headland?+

A third-generation Assumption Parish cane family and the son-in-law who builds the software. No investors and no call center — when you email, you reach the people who farm with it and the person who builds it.
