All certified producers are required to keep records that can trace a certified product from start to finish and that fully disclose all activities and transactions. A good record-keeping system can also help producers make decisions and improve efficiency and profitability. All records are to be maintained for five years and must be available at the time of your inspection.
These record-keeping templates are a resource for your certified operation. Using the VOF forms is not required if another adequate record-keeping system is in place.
