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 one is available in the tract or nearby field

(in the sample operation) for list frame sample(s).

If sample weight is too small for moisture test, sufficient grain of known moisture content 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
