A method and related apparatus are disclosed for identifying a characteristic of a bulk flowable material. The invention involves inserting an identification marker into a bulk flowable material having a determined property. The identification marker carries information that can be used to identify a specified property or properties of the material. A marker dispenser, for dispensing markers into a body of moving material, is located at one or more handling sites of the bulk flowable material. The identification markers can be pre-prepared or the property-related information can be added to the marker just prior to, or even subsequent to, dispensing. The identification markers can be paper-like labels, for example, or more complex devices with changeable memories. The system can be used to track the lifespan of a material or to indicate a property of the material to others, such as whether the material or a genetically modified organism (GMO). A pre-printed marker source containing a single continuous bar code is also disclosed.
