Offer Upgrade  User ID: 76772340  United States07/17/2018 12:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This will impact multi-thousands of elderly people  [link to modernfarmer.com (secure)] There is a special bit of hardware and software required for that EBT swipe; it’s not anything complicated, but it is separate from, say, a credit card point-of-sale machine. The USDA does not actually make either the hardware or the software. Instead, they give a large contract to an organization, and that organization decides on one or several tech companies that will actually provide the software. There are a few different companies who make that software right now, but the biggest is a company called Novo Dia, which supplies over 1,700 farmers and farmers markets. Now, A Brand-New, Virtually Unknown Company is Taking Over the Contract and Changing Everything [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] FTM, a newly formed company that was awarded the USDA contract two months ago, has said it will begin accepting applications for new equipment on July 14. But it will take at least several weeks for applications to be approved and the equipment to be distributed. Some markets may be up and running by August. But that is more than halfway through the market season in most areas of the United States. I am a humble Servant of the one True Living God. |
