Find your starting point.Answer what applies.

The answers shape the first scope for one harvest. Nothing is sent until you choose to discuss a pilot.

Question 1 of 3Which activities does your operation perform?Select all that apply.
Question 2 of 3Who performs each handoff?
Question 3 of 3Can the harvest, packing, and buyer records be linked for one selected lot?
Connect that business's own activity and references to your harvest. Harvest/cooling and initial packing have different record responsibilities for applicable foods. Shared access keeps the handoff visible while each business retains its own observations and obligations.
