Crews work more carefully when accuracy is visible. Not talked about at the bunk, not mentioned once a month, but visible every day. A feeder accuracy leaderboard does that. LEO My Farm puts grades next to every load and ranks feeders on the same rules.
Grades come from the server
Every finished load in the LEO Agriculture app, on iPhone or Android, sends the target and actual weight for every ingredient. The LEO server works out the grade. The operator cannot type one in.
The grade is a letter from A to F, worked out from how far each ingredient missed its target as a percent, with an allowance the farm sets. Skipped ingredients count unless a manager allowed the skip. Canceled loads are left out.
Because every grade uses the same rules, the leaderboard is fair. Everyone is measured the same way.
Grades next to the load record
On LEO My Farm, you see the grade right next to the load. Open the load and you see why: each ingredient’s target, its actual, and how far off it was. On the phone, the loads list shows each load’s grade too.
That is what makes a grade useful for coaching. You can point to the exact ingredient that cost the points.
The farm board
The farm board shows this farm’s operators and best loads. Managers see the whole farm. Operators see their own grades and stats, plus their badge and place on the board in the app.
Use it for:
- A quick weekly check on who is loading clean.
- Spotting a new operator who needs help on one ingredient.
- Recognizing a feeder who holds a high grade week after week.
The global top 20
Once there are at least 20 graded loads in the period, LEO My Farm also shows a global top 20. It ranks the most accurate loading across farms using LEO.
The global board never shows operator emails. A farm’s name shows there only if the farm turns that on. On a farm’s own board, an operator who has not set a display name may show by email, so ask your crew to set a name.
Why leaderboards work
Most feeders want to do a good job. A leaderboard gives them a way to see it.
- It turns accuracy into something you can talk about with numbers.
- It rewards habits, not luck, because it looks across many loads.
- It gives the crew a friendly goal.
- It shows the manager where to spend coaching time.
Smart Rations and grades
When a feeder misses an ingredient, LEO Smart Rations rebalances the rest of the load to keep the ration on target. The phone vibrates, and the operator taps Accept. The animals get a balanced load, and the grade still reflects the miss. After 3 adjustments on one load, the load is flagged on the scorecard.
Good rations regardless of operator error, and an honest grade for the operator.
Using the board the right way
- Talk about trends, not one bad load.
- Check the scale and calibration if one mixer drags everyone down.
- Set allowances per ingredient that are tough but fair.
- Celebrate the top feeders in front of the crew.
- Pair a new operator with someone near the top of the board.
A simple monthly routine
Here is one way farms use the board without making it a chore.
- In the first week of the month, open the farm board on My Farm.
- Note the top three feeders and the ingredient that missed most across the farm.
- Share the top three with the crew and thank them by name.
- Pick one ingredient to work on together for the month.
- Check the same board at month end and see if that ingredient improved.
Small, steady habits move the grade more than a big speech.
Accuracy starts with the machine
Grades are only as good as the weights. Calibrated load cells and a solid vertical mixer are the starting point. See our twin auger vertical TMR mixers, and ask your LEO dealer about LEO Scale and the Bluetooth transmitter.
