ALERTS & DISCLAIMERS

1) Please be aware that this service is provided for storing the data and does not mean the corrective action comments will be reviewed by PrimusLabs.

2) When stating that a question's corrective action(s) has/have been "fully completed", please note that this must mean that the corrective actions have been completed in full, not partially completed.

3) Please note that when you complete this corrective action form online customers and buyers are able to access some or all of your corrective action responses.

4) Please be aware that customers and buyers are able to stipulate the type and level of corrective action data they wish to see. Many customers/buyers only see partial/no completion of corrective action comments and uploads i.e. they do not see any comments or uploads associated with "fully completed" responses. This means that any "fully completed" must equate to full completion of a corrective action and not a partially completed action.

Answer: Yes
Auditor Notes: Yes. There was animal tracks inside growing area on the west side Ranch RU173A-14.
Answer:  We have fully completed the corrective action(s)
Comments: Coyote tracks were observed in the growing area. The area was inspected and concluded that it was free of any further animal intrusion and no domestic animals live near the growing area.

Severity Level: C -  Adjacent Land Use
Question 04.02a Have physical measures been put in place to restrain domestic animals, grazing lands, (includes homes with hobby farms, and non commercial livestock) and their waste from entering the growing area (e.g. vegetative strips, wind breaks, physical barriers, berms, fences, diversion ditches.)?
Answer: No
Auditor Notes: No. Growing area is not fenced.
Answer:  We have fully completed the corrective action(s)
Comments: Fencing has not been placed completely around the block due to the lack of animal activity. TopFlavor Farms has individuals who work hard to prevent bird and animal activity around the growing area with noise makers and mylar streamers. The block will continue to be monitored to ensure product safety.
 
 
Severity Level: C -  Irrigation/Water Use

Answer: Yes
Auditor Notes: Yes. Animals do have access to the canal water.

Comments: Animals will have potential access to the irrigation water as it is an open water system that travels through the valley.

Comments: The main entrance to the ranch is a county road which the water district uses frequently, therefore making it difficult to gate off. Other entrances to the ranch are gated and locked at night.
