Method and system for automated tracing of an agricultural product

This invention describes a system to track a specific crop from the farm field to its final destination. It works by electronically recording details like planting, growing, and chemical use directly from farm machinery, creating a digital history for that crop. Once harvested, the crop is kept separate in containers, each with a unique ID, and this ID is linked to the crop's digital history. A portion of this history can then be shared with the person or business receiving the crop.

Why it matters: In 2003, integrating data processing systems with agricultural machines for real-time recording was complex and costly. Today, ubiquitous IoT sensors, cloud computing, and advanced farm machinery make this data capture and sharing much more practical and affordable.
