Automated Below Break-Even Field Alerts
Every Monday, WebRun opens Traction Ag, reads the cost per acre and expected return for each field, logs the fields sitting below break-even to a Google Sheet, and posts you a Slack alert of the worst acres so a losing field gets attention while there is still time to act.
How do I flag fields running below break-even cost per acre automatically?
Every Monday, WebRun opens Traction Ag, reads the cost per acre and expected return for each field, and finds the ones sitting below break-even. It logs them to a Google Sheet with the gap per acre and posts you a Slack alert, worst first, so a losing field gets attention while there is still time to change the outcome.
- Losing fields surface weekly, not at harvest settle up
- Every flag shows the gap per acre and the acres at risk
- A running sheet shows which fields are slipping week over week
Built for row crop farmers · farm managers · farm bookkeepers · farm accountants

Questions, answered
Does it message landlords or my lender?
No. WebRun logs the numbers to a Google Sheet and posts an internal Slack alert for your team only. It never contacts a landlord or a lender about a field's performance.
Is it safe to auto-post to Slack and Sheets?
Yes. Both are internal to your team, so WebRun writes the sheet and posts the alert on its own each week. Nothing leaves your farm and no one outside is contacted, so there is nothing to approve.
How does it decide a field is below break-even?
It reads the live cost per acre and expected return for each field in Traction Ag and compares them to the break-even, so only fields genuinely under water are flagged, worst gap first.
