Key Steps
1. Log in
Log in at partners.farmshare.co with the email or phone number your Processor has on file for you. Click Continue, then enter the 6-digit code Farmshare sends you and click Verify Code. There is no password. You land on Tasks.
2. Start a new job
Click the + button in the bottom right and choose Schedule a job.
3. Pick your animals and a date
Enter the number of animals, the species and the inspection level, then pick a day shown in green.
4. Check the details
Review the drop-off date, your Producer details and the hang time. Animal Details is optional: you can add a Producer Identifier (for example, an ear tag number) and choose a Split Type.
5. Assign buyers (optional) and schedule
Pick an existing buyer or add a new one with their name and an email or phone number, then click Schedule Job. Not sure who is buying yet? Skip this and add buyers later. Buyers you add are saved for next time.
6. Wait for approval
Your job shows Requested (Waiting on your Processor). You get a notification when your Processor approves it, and it moves to Scheduled.
Cautionary Notes
Only days shown in green are open. Some Processors only take certain species or inspection levels on certain days.
Longer hang times mean a later pickup.
Tips
Use the Producer Identifier to match each animal to its ear tag.
