1. A method comprising:
- generating a batch of unique codes with a first computing device, the codes spanning a first range from an initial code to a final code, and storing the batch of unique codes in a database;
transmitting the batch of unique codes to a second computing device;
receiving a first unique code in association with first harvest data from a third computing device after transmitting the batch of unique codes to the second computing device; and
storing the first harvest data in association with the batch of unique codes in the database.

Abstract
Systems and methods allow units of produce to be traced back to the fields in which the produce was grown. In the field, a harvest form is completed with harvest information at the time of the harvest. In some instances, labels having unique codes are used to label the produce in the field, and an additional label is placed on the harvest form to associate a range of unique codes for an entire roll of labels with the harvest information on the form. In the alternative, the label can be read, such as with a hand-held device and associated with harvest information also entered through the hand-held device.

8. A method comprising:
-
receiving a roll of labels, each label of the roll sequentially including a unique code from a batch of unique codes, the unique codes spanning a range from an initial unique code to a final unique code, an initial label of the roll including the initial unique code and a final label of the roll including the final unique code; associating first harvest data with a first unique code from a label of the roll; affixing labels from the roll to item-level packages or individual items of produce; and transmitting the first unique code in association with the first harvest data. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)
