Patent ID: 8140397

Claim:
A method for harvesting an agricultural product from a field to allow for later identification of a specific section of field where the harvesting occurred, the method comprising: inputting harvest source information; capturing, using a mobile computing device, a first Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinate corresponding to a first location in the field; harvesting the agricultural product from the first location that is the starting point of the harvesting to a second location in the field that is the ending point of the harvesting; storing the agricultural product harvested from the first location to the second location in a set of containers; capturing a second GPS coordinate corresponding to the second location; associating a unique Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) value to each container of the set of containers to create a set of RFID values; associating the source information, the first GPS coordinate, and the second GPS coordinate to the set of RFID values; and determining the specific section of field from which the agricultural product was harvested based on the first GPS coordinate and the second GPS coordinate.
