You might not believe it but having a good computer is something that I would consider an essential tool<\/a> for running your farm.<\/p>\n

If you are like me, you may use your laptop for buying tools parts, seeds and livestock, managing a website, communicating with customers, and even learning new farming techniques.<\/p>\n

Large scale farmers and ranchers may use their laptops to connect to their tractors, manage crop data, livestock data, and handle their bookkeeping.<\/p>\n

Either way, if you need a laptop that you can use to manage your farm from your office or one that you can bring along with you while out on the farm or ranch then below are our favorites.<\/p>\n

Business Laptop vs Rugged Laptop<\/h2>\n

When looking for a laptop for your farm or ranch, there are two types to choose from. The type you choose will depend on how you plan on using it.<\/p>\n

If you are primarily going to use your farm laptop in your house or office then you should get a business grade laptop. These laptops should handle everything you need to do on a computer in order to run your farm. This includes running any type of farm management software as long as it runs on a Windows 10 PC.<\/p>\n

They typically come with stable hardware and are designed to last much longer than cheaper standard laptops. Replacement parts are also easier to get and they have great warranties.<\/p>\n

However, if you plan on using your laptop while out on your farm or ranch then you probably need to buy a rugged laptop. Rugged laptops are designed to be tough and will handle the abuse they might receive on a farm or ranch.<\/p>\n

This includes things like being dropped or banged around, getting wet from rain or spilled drinks, or getting dirty from mud or grease. If this is a possibility on your farm then consider buying a rugged laptop.<\/p>\n

With that being said, here are our picks for best farm business laptops and best rugged laptops.<\/p>\n
