Agricultural producers, such as farmers, can view listings of agricultural products desired and the system can facilitate the contracting between the buyers and producers for the agricultural products. The system can display in real time the quantity and types of agricultural products under contract and available for contract. The system can manage delivery preferences, quality data and determine contract pricing based on these criteria.

Abstract: A method of using a device for use in cleaning septic tanks, comprising a rotatable blade for breaking up the scum layer within a septic tank, power drive for turning the blade with sufficient power to break up the scum, and driveshaft for operably connecting the blade to the power drive. The device can be used as a septic tank agitator, in order to liquefy the scum, liquid and sludge components within the tank, within a period of time far shorter than the traditional method of back-flushing to disrupt the layer.
