The basis of the system requires RFID Chips to match the product requirement. For grains the requirement will be for short range RFID, (10 meters) and long range (200 meters up to 1500 meters) for animals.

The RFID tags will be issued with the foundation seed or animal and will follow the product (Via Database integration and PDA input) from the initial contract through the complete product process.

 In other words, tracking will be maintained from foundation seed/animal to the end user.
