Anna, I am happy to hear your comments.  So often people forget that it protect the produce they work so hard to grow.  Traceability is complete and a cost of doing business in the United States and abroad if your shipment is bound for the…

Not at all, Greg. I don't agree. Her topic is a good one and, while she may be a salesperson, she is engaging in an informative discussion in a positive way. She's nothing like those who just post an ad and leave. She is…

Greg I completely agree.  Now lets be real.  When the consumer quits buying out of season products things will change until then we have FDA and FSMA.   Greg, Yes I assisted in the configuration.  Does it work Yes.  Is it an…

Pam, under full disclosure, do you have anything to do with Harvest2Ship, financially or employment wise?

Of course we would as long as it did not involve us purchasing something up front or outlaying more cash for some distant potential return.  There are only so many hours in the day and dollars in the bank.  I don't want to work…

I think you got it Greg!  This is how it stats though.  Magazine announces great new tracking software.  Software maker schmoozes congress.  Big Ag is already doing it so they say, sure no problem, but don't forget about the…

I use carbonite.com and some of the free google services.  Again, I am not that big.  I sell to two restaurants and at the farmer's market.  Maybe $25,000 per year if I am lucky.  In no way do I want any part of extra…

Matt, Take a moment and look at www.scoringag.com this is the recordkeeping system.  Where are your backups if you suffer from a flood, fire or theft?

It depends on your profit margin.  Almost all of the small producers organazations are against your proposals.  The cost to implement this is significantly cheaper for a larger organization due to economies of scale.   I will always…

@Matt  Pointing the finger at BIG ag as you put it, leaves 3 pointing back at you.  Traceback if for everyone!  One up one down isn't good enough.  Recordkeeping is inexpensive and easy to use.  Limits risk and…

@Pamela Sweeten   The amount of people sicked from small growers is virtually non-existant.  The risk comes from very large agri-business who ship their product across multiple states AND/OR are part of a large multi-national…
