There is no bulk transaction selection.

There is no export functionality.

There is no gnucash-specific import (only QIF, OFX, HBCI, ...).

GnuCash does not use a database, as such.


An option would be to...

1/ Use File > Export > Export Accounts on your home GnuCash to create an
empty account tree.

2/ Enter transactions against that account tree on the farm.

3/ Use 'gnucash to qif' [1]  to convert the farm data file's transactions into
a format importable at home.


Depending on the scenario, you could also just copy the home data file to a
usb thumb drive or Internet-accessible network location for use on the farm,
then copy the farm-updated data file back for subsequent use at home.
