The Seam Chairman and CEO, Mark Pryor, presented at the 2017 pre-harvest meeting hosted by the American Peanut Shellers Association (APSA) and the National Peanut Buying Points Association (NPBPA) in Cordele, Georgia, this week.
Pryor spoke about the need for, and current lack of, business software technology in the agricultural industry, how real, actionable reporting benefits the industry, and how blockchain technology will provide “trusted” data for food safety and a wide range of sustainability initiatives.
It was also at the pre-harvest meeting that The Seam announced that it will provide grading data directly to the producer through SMS alerts this season.
Committee meetings were held on Tuesday, August 1, and the general business session was held the following day, with a welcome from U.S. Congressman Austin Scott. Those in attendance heard from a variety of speakers, like The Peanut Institute and the latest from Georgia Federal-State Inspection.
