This template is designed to help a farm prepare for an audit under the Harmonized Standard, conducted by Equicert or another third party auditor. The contents are copyright 2013, by Equicert, except material from the standard itself, which is the intellectual property of the United Fresh Produce Association. This standard is poised to become the new industry standard for the future of fresh produce growing in North America. Following the requirements of this standard should put any farm very close to the requirements of any other standard, as most farm food safety standards have 90% of their content in common and the Harmonized Standard was designed to feature the best and strongest features of existing popular standards to avoid multiple audits. The book includes a reproduction of the requirements and procedures of the pre and post farm gate Harmonized Standard.

This second edition conforms to KDP, createspace, and Amazon policies. In the spring of 1997, a bizarre cult made up of small town young people in their teens and early twenties broke into an Elliott mausoleum containing the bodies of a beloved and tragedy striken pioneer couple. Stealing the heads of husband and wife, they used them for rituals for the purpose of obtaining spiritual power and bringing about the end of the world. This book, written by a deputy sheriff who assisted with the investigation, tells the true story of this incident, and also of the decisions made by leaders in society that brought increasing crime and violence to rural America. This second edition was edited to conform to the policies of createspace and KDP.
