NOTE: The post-harvest field gleanings should be completed as soon after harvest as possible,

and must be done within 3 days after harvest. If the sample field has been plowed, disked, or

pastured since harvest, select an alternate field for gleaning if a field of the same type is available on the operation.

POST-HARVEST GLEANING UNIT
Lay out post-harvest units for POST-HARVEST GLEANING SAMPLES ONLY. Thoroughly search the soil in each unit to a depth of 12 inches. Pick up all tubers and pieces of tubers. Discard whole tubers less than 1 ½ inches in diameter (use gauge). Brush and clean tubers. Count each tuber 1 ½ inches or larger and all pieces of tubers.
