Nope. Sure can't. If you know what an ag agent sounds like
you know more than I do.
I know a peddler who wholesales to other peddlers. He
attempted to sell to us and tried to get us to quit growing
and just sell/peddle.
He educated me on how it's done. Seems professional and/or
experienced inspectors know the difference and only buy the
better stuff. The rejected stuff is not worth as much and
can be purchased for cheap.
The peddler handed my wife and I potatoes, oranges, beans,
tomatoes and some other stuff and we couldn't tell the
difference between the top grade and the lesser grades. This
included lower grade organic potatoes grown at a locally
well known farm.
He had receipts and the grades were marked on the receipts.
Seems ag laws require it or something like that. We didn't
spend too much time on it since our love is growing - not
selling.
