What Batten does

Less chasing.
More knowing.

One place for the farm knowledge your team needs to get on with the day.

Explore

Find what you need.
Even when you’re new.

Search for a farm item or switch on a map layer. Select its location to see its name, photo and notes. Open the photo for a clearer look at the surroundings.

Record pipes and useful landmarks so knowledge stays with the farm. Recorded pipe routes are a guide, not surveyed positions.
