Labor/staff 'yes': OnPay's farm/ag payroll page says it files and pays employment taxes automatically including IRS Form 943 (the agricultural employer return), pays H-2A workers by direct deposit, debit card or check, handles agricultural minimum wage rates and overtime tracking, self-service new-hire onboarding and state new-hire reporting, document vault, ag-specific workers' comp rates, health benefits and 401(k) (OnPay is a licensed insurance broker), and links to a separate time-tracking product. Accounting 'partial' = payroll syncs to QuickBooks, Xero and other accounting software (not a farm ledger). Mobile 'partial' = vendor says 'mobile friendly'; no dedicated farm app described. Note: 'farm-software-only company' is the closest enum value, but OnPay is a general small-business payroll company with a farm-specific offering, not a farm-only vendor.

Your data
| Who owns it, who sees it | OnPay's privacy policy (updated Oct 5, 2026) does not use the word 'sell' or contain farm-data ownership language; it says personally identifiable information may be shared with affiliates, strategic partners, agents or third-party marketers who may use it for their own purposes, plus service providers, payment processors and advertising networks. |

Who is behind it
| Company | OnPay, LLC |

| Ownership | Private, investor-backed — VC-backed private |
| What else they sell | broad-industry software used by farmers (not farm-specific) |
| Headquarters | Atlanta, Georgia (US) — Atlanta, Georgia, USA |
| Built and supported | US-built; US-only payroll; support by phone, chat and email (location not stated). |
| Founded | 2011 |
| Funding and acquisitions | $6M round from individual investors (Jan 2020); $63M Series B led by Carrick Capital Partners plus debt facility from AB Private Credit Investors and MC Credit Partners, totaling over $100M (Jan 2025). Partnership with Xero and Farm Credit Services of America's Magnify farm-finance program announced 2019. |
| Status | Active. GAP NOTE: no payroll/HR/time-tracking product was found that targets US row-crop (corn/soy/wheat) farms specifically. Farm-specific labor software in the US is concentrated in specialty-crop and H-2A-heavy sectors (e.g. Seso Inc. for H-2A workforce, Datatech, Famous Software for packers/growers). Row-crop farms typically run payroll through general small-business payroll services that support Form 943 and H-2A (OnPay, Gusto, QuickBooks Payroll, ADP), through their farm accounting package (e.g. FBS, CenterPoint/Red Wing, EasyFarm), or through their accountant. OnPay is included here because it is the general payroll vendor with an explicit, publicly priced farm/ranch offering that a row-crop farmer can sign up for directly; it is not a farm-only company. |
