In the present era of agricultural digitalization, documenting on-farm operations is critical. These records contextualize other layers of data and underpin economic analysis and informed decision-making. On-farm recordkeeping is rooted in an ancient tradition and has evolved from pen and paper to digital means integrating diverse tools and methods. These tools vary widely in mode of data recording and this presents challenges in achieving complete, accurate and interoperable data. Assessing this diversity of existing recordkeeping systems is a key step toward the improvement in recordkeeping systems that enhance data quality and interoperability. Despite the importance, as of present, comprehensive studies addressing this challenge are lacking. A systematic review of existing on-farm recordkeeping systems was carried out to address their advantages and weaknesses and to analyze their features and traits, focusing on interoperability and adherence to efficient and comprehensive on-farm recordkeeping. Paper-based recordkeeping, a longstanding and reliable method, is gradually being replaced by digital platforms. Many universities and agencies have released farm management spreadsheets and interactive database forms representing the initial step toward intuitive recordkeeping. Furthermore, farm management software, web apps, and user-friendly smartphone apps are increasingly crucial for handling agricultural big data. Notably, among the surveyed software packages and apps, most of them are not free and only a few support data interoperability. The survey also indicates a scope for further development in open-source tools with automation in recordkeeping. Adopting digital on-farm recordkeeping tools can positively impact both on and off the farm, fostering data interoperability, controlled yet flexible data access, completeness, and appropriate accuracy.

在当今农业数字化时代，记录农场运营至关重要。这些记录将其他层的数据置于背景中，并支持经济分析和明智的决策。农场记录保存植根于古老的传统，并已从笔和纸发展到集成多种工具和方法的数字手段。这些工具的数据记录模式差异很大，这对实现完整、准确和可互操作的数据提出了挑战。评估现有记录保存系统的多样性是改进记录保存系统以提高数据质量和互操作性的关键一步。尽管很重要，但到目前为止，还缺乏应对这一挑战的全面研究。对现有农场记录保存系统进行了系统审查，以解决其优点和缺点，并分析其特点和特点，重点关注互操作性和遵守高效、全面的农场记录保存。纸质记录保存是一种长期存在且可靠的方法，正逐渐被数字平台取代。许多大学和机构已经发布了农场管理电子表格和交互式数据库表格，代表着向直观记录保存迈出了第一步。此外，农场管理软件、网络应用程序和用户友好的智能手机应用程序对于处理农业大数据越来越重要。值得注意的是，在接受调查的软件包和应用程序中，大多数都不是免费的，只有少数支持数据互操作。该调查还表明了进一步开发具有记录保存自动化功能的开源工具的范围。 采用数字化农场记录保存工具可以对农场内外产生积极影响，促进数据互操作性、受控且灵活的数据访问、完整性和适当的准确性。
