McKenzies is our family farm at Antwerp, in Victoria’s Wimmera. I grew up on it. The drought of the nineties pulled us back from sheep and crops to cropping only, and today it’s run as a blend of family and contractors. This is the real thing: the paddocks, the spray records and this season’s work, live and public.
Phone, tablet or desktop. Works at the yards with no signal; it catches up later.
Just need somewhere to keep the compliance records?
Plenty of farmers use Purple Grain for that alone. Add your drench and spray records, and export the treatment register or spray diary any time. Free.
Snap a photo, write a line. PurpleGrain AI writes the treatment and compliance record for you.
No forms, no second app, nothing to set up. Photograph the drum, the shed sheet or the mob, say what you did, and the record lands on the right mob or paddock, LPA-ready. You stay the final check: it never fills in a batch, dose or withholding it cannot see.
Zero extra tooling. It is the same composer, in purple.
Treatment, husbandry, spray, sowing and field work records, in the LPA layout.
Unsure which mob? It leaves the link blank for you rather than guessing.
Add a photo of the drum, sheet or mob. PurpleGrain AI writes the record; you stay the final check.

Which mobs at McKenzies are still under withholding?
One mob. Composite ewes (1,100 head) were drenched with Cydectin on 12/8/26 — ESI runs to 9/9/26, WHP cleared 19/8/26. Weaners are clear to sell.
Add a job at Hillcrest to weigh the weaners next week
Change not made. This connection has read-only access to Hillcrest Pastoral Co. Want me to switch it to read and write for Hillcrest? You can narrow it again any time.
Yes
Done. Claude now has read and write in Hillcrest Pastoral Co, and “Weigh the weaners and draft the tops” is on the Weaners list. We’ve emailed you.
Drench records
Treatment records that keep the register for you
Drenches, vaccines, lice and fly treatments, vitamins. Pick Treatment record under the composer, or let PurpleGrain AI fill it from a photo. Product, batch, dose, WHP and ESI sit on the record; the safe-to-sell dates follow.
Each mob shows “Under withholding until 19/9/26” or “Clear to sell”

Spray records
A spray diary that keeps itself
Pick Spray record under the composer. The job carries the paddock, area, tank mix, rates, batches and weather. Grazing and harvest withholding sit on the paddock, so the header knows before the truck arrives.
Area defaults to the paddock; add as many products as the tank held
Each paddock shows “Safe to graze from” and “Safe to harvest from”
Export the spray diary as PDF or CSV, same as the treatment register
