The market value of farmer's produce should reflect the farmer’s labour and knowledge as well as quality, time of season, and variety of crop grown. Failure to report produce/products brought to markets from other farms or underpricing my produce/products may result in my farm being reviewed by the board and subsequently dismissed from the market.
