Discuss topics to see if there are any updates and interest moving forward.
  • Continue engagement with Traceability/CART - Steve provided background information to the participants regarding previous traceability activities involving CART.  Josh mentioned that Scott Nieman and Joe Tevis has been very engaged in this work and there would probably be meet-ups scheduled in the future on this topic.
  • Barge identification/location in context of traceability - Steve added there could be an opportunity to leverage barge carriers if there was interest in moving this work forward.
  • Developing a process map for the industry that includes references to AgGateway tools, standards and identifiers. - Jim informed participants about Interoperability Training he has been providing. He will be offering this training at the Mid-Year Virtual Meeting in three sessions. This training is a good start point for developing a process map for the industry. He has already started compiling and organizing this information on the wiki but it is a work in progress.
  • OAGIS ReceiveDelivery RESTful Web API/JSON for a scale ticket as proof-of-delivery for grain deliveries and use case for transfers to ethanol facilities - Josh covered this topic but mentioned it was brought forward by Scott Nieman who was unable to be on the call.  Josh took the action item to follow-up with Scott to determine if a more focus Meet-up needed to be scheduled for this topic.
