1/ If the Lab count is different from the field count, follow these steps— Check if the correct unit was counted. RE-ADD counts from the ID tag. If counts are different by 2% or more (lab count / field count) then recount heads and initial unit recounted. Lab supervisor, notify State when difference 5% or more. 2/ If the sample weight is too small or too dry for a moisture test, follow the procedures on the back of this form to complete the Moisture Test.

FORM C-2: WHEAT
If the sample weight is too small for moisture test, sufficient grains of known moisture content (use same class and stage of maturity) will be added to the sample so that a moisture test can be made. The moisture content of the sample can then be derived using the following formula:
	E =	( A + B ) D - ( B x C)
		A
Where	A = Weight of small or dry wheat sample . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .				. ___	Grams
	B = Weight of additional grain required for moisture test . . . . . . . . . . .				. ___	Grams
	C = Moisture percent of B . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .				. ___	Percent
	D = Moisture percent of A + B combined . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .				. ___	Percent
