Initial data is acquired on an agricultural product associated with a
harvesting time. The acquired initial data is transmitted (e.g., handed
off) via an electromagnetic signal or wireless communication to an
intermediate data processing system associated with a handler of the
agricultural product. Additional data is appended to the acquired initial
data received at the intermediate data processing system to form
composite data. The composite data is transmitted via an electromagnetic
signal or wireless communication to at least one of a receiver and a data
processing system for processing or storing the composite data. The
composite data is transferred to or made available to a data management
system, which may be accessible to one or more users who seek access to
at least one of the initial data, the additional data, and the composite
data on the agricultural product or a derivative thereof.
