The Australian agricultural landscape in 2025 has been defined by a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Farmers have navigated one of the most demanding interest rate environments in two decades, with the RBA cash rate sitting at 3.8% and interest expenses consuming an average of 12% of gross farm income. Simultaneously, while input costs for fertilizer and fuel have moderated from their recent peaks, they remain structurally high, necessitating a renewed focus on efficiency and financial rigor.

At P2PAgri, we understand that in this environment, clarity is very important. Running a successful farm operation requires more than just intuition; it demands the right tools to track livestock performance, manage complex cropping rotations, and stay on top of your finances with precision. This year, we have been hard at work adding powerful new features designed to help Australian farmers save time, make data-driven decisions, and grow their operations with confidence.

Here is a comprehensive look at everything new in P2PAgri this year, and how these features are designed to streamline your farm business for a profitable 2026.

AI-Powered Expense Categorisation: Smarter Profit & Loss

One of the most significant advancements in 2025 is the introduction of AI-Powered Expense Categorisation in the Profit and Loss section. We know that sorting through expenses is tedious work that takes you away from the paddock. Our new artificial intelligence engine automatically analyses your transaction data and suggests the appropriate category for each expense.

This feature represents a shift towards autonomous farm finance. By reducing manual data entry, you can spend less time on bookkeeping and more time analysing your actual financial performance. This is particularly valuable for complex mixed farming operations where expenses must be allocated across different enterprises. Whether you are managing broadacre cropping inputs or livestock health costs, the AI learns from your history to ensure accuracy and consistency.

Seamless Accounting Integrations: Xero and MYOB

We know that farm finances can be complex, and disjointed systems only add to the burden. That’s why we’ve expanded our accounting integrations to give you more flexibility and control.

  • MYOB Essentials Integration: Users can now upload Profit and Loss files directly into P2PAgri. This feature makes it easier to consolidate your financial picture without the risk of manual data entry errors.
  • Xero Import Improvements: For those using Xero, our improved import functionality now provides clearer guidance when splitting transactions. This ensures that your cashflow records stay accurate, allowing for precise “Plan vs. Actual” comparisons—a critical capability for managing peak debt and securing finance in a high-interest environment.

Smarter Livestock Management: Digital Records and Compliance

Keeping accurate livestock records is essential for any grazing operation, not just for production efficiency, but for compliance and audit readiness. This year, we introduced Livestock Notes—a dedicated space to record important observations, health events, and management decisions for your herd or flock.

Whether you are tracking animal health treatments, mob movements, or breeding notes, everything stays organised in one place. This feature bridges the gap between production data and financial outcomes. You can also generate PDF reports of your livestock notes, making it easy to share records with advisors, vets, or potential buyers. This level of documentation is increasingly vital for meeting industry traceability standards and quality assurance audits.

Precision Mapping: Automated Hectare Calculation

Our farm mapping tools received a practical upgrade that leverages spatial data technology. When you draw paddocks on your farm map, P2PAgri now automatically calculates hectares for you.

No more manual calculations or guesswork. Just draw your boundaries and get accurate area measurements instantly. This feature is essential for:

  • Paddock Planning: Optimising crop rotations and input requirements based on precise area data.
  • Stocking Rate Calculations: Ensuring your DSE (Dry Sheep Equivalent) per hectare aligns with your carrying capacity and feed budget.
  • Lease Agreements: Providing accurate data for land leasing negotiations.

Integrated Rainfall Tracking with Weather Data

Understanding rainfall patterns is critical for feed budgeting, cropping decisions, and water management. Our new Rainfall Page connects directly to weather APIs to bring real-time and historical rainfall data into your farm records.

This integration allows you to track moisture across your properties and make informed decisions about grazing rotations, planting schedules, and supplementary feeding. In a year where climatic variability continues to challenge producers, having a reliable, integrated record of precipitation is a key component of climate resilience planning.

New Enterprise Support: Tea Tree, Blueberries, and Soybeans

Australian agriculture is diverse, and P2PAgri is evolving to support that diversity. We have expanded our enterprise library to support more specialised and high-value farming operations.

  • Essential Oils (Tea Tree): The Australian tea tree industry is a global leader, requiring strict biomass and oil yield tracking. P2PAgri now supports the specific recording needs of tea tree plantations, allowing you to track costs and returns per hectare with precision.
  • Blueberries: As a high-input, labour-intensive horticultural crop, blueberries require rigorous cost control. Our updated enterprise modules allow growers to track the nuances of berry production.
  • Soybeans and Vetch Hay: With soybeans emerging as a valuable summer break crop and vetch hay continuing to be a staple for nitrogen fixation and feed, we have added dedicated support for these crops. This ensures that mixed farmers can accurately budget and analyse the gross margins of these rotation options.

Time-Saving Tools for Budgeting

Farmers told us they wanted faster ways to set up new seasons. Now you can copy essential expenses from one reporting cycle to another with a single click. No more re-entering the same overhead costs year after year—just copy, adjust where needed, and get on with planning.

We also added Variable Cost Notes and Calculations, giving you a dedicated space to document assumptions and keep track of how you’ve arrived at your cost estimates. This transparency is crucial when presenting budgets to bank managers or advisory boards.

Paperwork and Compliance: Grain Sales Attachments

Paperwork matters in agriculture. You can now upload files directly to your grain sales records—attach invoices, contracts, delivery dockets, or any supporting documentation. This significantly helps manage your forward selling grain marketing in real-time. Everything stays linked to the right transaction, so you’re always audit-ready and organised. This feature supports the growing need for quality assurance (QA) compliance in the grains industry.

Improved Navigation and Performance

We’ve made the platform faster and easier to use:

  • Sticky Headers: On Variable Costs and Paddock Gross Margin pages, column headings now stay visible as you scroll through large datasets.
  • Faster Performance: Faster livestock pages mean quicker load times across the platform, especially when comparing scenarios or working with large herds.

Flexible Subscription Management

We believe that every farmer should have access to professional management tools. We’ve added a clear pricing table in the subscriptions section so you can easily see your options. Plus, our Essentials tier remains free with no credit card required—perfect for farmers just getting started with digital farm management.

Looking Ahead to 2026

Every feature we build is designed to help farmers work smarter, not harder. Whether you’re managing a grazing operation, running a mixed enterprise, or growing specialty crops like tea tree or blueberries, P2PAgri gives you the tools to track performance, plan ahead, and make data-driven decisions.
