MAINTAINING readily retrievable records of your farm's operations is essential when it comes to food safety. Records should include areas such as fertility management, pesticide and foliar applications, worker training programs, servicing of sanitary facilities, diagrams of adjacent land use and operations, and water source and quality information. Documentation maximizes your investment in risk reduction; without documentation there is no proof that your food safety program exists.
