A method to communicate agricultural product information to a user
includes receiving, at a management information system, a request for
agricultural product information. The request includes an agricultural
product identifier. An agricultural product record, identified utilizing
the agricultural product identifier, is then accessed and retrieved from
a database at the management information system. The agricultural product
record includes agricultural product data collected on the chain of
custody of the agricultural product. The agricultural product data, as
contained within the record, is then communicated to a user responsive to
the request. The communication of the request, and the response, may be
performed via the Internet as web-based communications.
