Abstract
Various embodiments of the present disclosure include methods and apparatus for recording and reporting agricultural information using a combination of a universal product code and a lot code. In an example embodiment, apparatus comprises a hand-held device including a display and one or more input devices to sense product identification indicia associated with or affixed to a food product that is grown or raised in an agricultural operation. The product identification indicia comprise a combination of a universal product code and a lot code for the food product. The hand-held device includes at least one processor to determine a machine-readable identification code from the product identification indicia; send the identification code to at least one remote server; receive, from the at least one remote server, agricultural certification information that is associated with the product; and display the certification information on the display in human readable form.
