摘要

The invention refers to a method and system for tracing a crop, comprising: a location-determining receiver (314) adapted to be used during one of a planting and harvesting operation to receive signals for determining planting location data and a harvesting location data; a data storage device (351) for storing, in a data storage, a crop information related to the particular crop; an arranger (336) for arranging the stored information for the particular crop associated with the defined geographic area to provide a data profile for the particular crop; and an assignment module for associating a storage identifier (344) with the data profile for the particular crop, where the storage identifier (344) identifies at least one of a container (439) and a segregated storage bin for holding the particular crop for a tracked time duration.
