Many small farmers cannot buy a tractor, so they pay someone who owns one to plough, harrow, plant or harvest their land. Owners charge by the acre, the hour or the day, and nearly all the work comes in a few busy weeks at the start of the rains or at harvest. Farmers want to book early, owners want to be sure they will be paid before driving out to a distant field, and payment is often in cash in the middle of nowhere. A payments app that takes a deposit to book, lets farmers pay in the field by phone and keeps a record of every job can win these owners, and every farmer who pays sees your app.

Get paid in the field
Letting the farmer pay by phone as soon as the field is done means no cash on the tractor and a record of the job for both sides.
Grow through farmer groups
Tractor owners often work for whole villages or farmer groups. When those farmers pay through your app, they tell each other and look for other services that take it.
