	Lay out Units 1 and 2 as shown below:						CLIPPING ORDER
Row 3					2nd Clip ←		Both Units (item 11) First Clipping -- Row 1 in Clip Area B Second Clipping -- Row 3 in Clip Area B Third Clipping -- Row 2 in Clip Area A
Row 2			3rd Clip ←
Row 1					1st Clip ←
	Count Area	Clip Area A		Clip Area B

11. WITHIN CLIP AREAS: Make clippings in the designated ROW within Clip Areas OF EACH unit

following steps below.

**If Unit 2 Maturity Code is 2, enter enumerator and supervisor numbers below and sign name.

Discard Unit 1 clipping and DO NOT send any clippings to the Lab.

Step 1 -- Mark half-way point in specified row in clip area.

Step 2 -- MOW (cut stalk within 2 inches of base) all wheat stalks in specified row until 5 Emerged Heads (If that many)

are obtained OR until one-half the row is completely mowed. Begin mowing at the end of the row farthest from

count area and mow in direction of count area. Examine each stalk for emerged head as it is mowed; if present,

clip stalk 1/2 inch below the head. Place the 5 (or less) emerged heads in a small bag. Record count on

YELLOW I.D. tag. Also, when mowing, clip and count any heads in late boot at base of top foliage leaf and

place in a medium size bag.

Step 3 -- MOW remaining stalks up to the half-way mark. Examine each stalk and determine which ones are emerged

heads and late boot heads. CLIP the stalk 1/2 inch below the emerged head or at base of top foliage leaf for

late boot heads. Place the remaining emerged heads in a large bag and the late boot heads in a medium bag.

Step 4 -- Record the count of the remaining emerged heads and the late boot heads on the YELLOW I.D. tag.

Repeat steps 1 through 4 for Unit 2 using same bags for emerged heads and late boot heads as used in Unit 1.

Prepare one I.D. tag. Label all bags with sample number. Seal and place the small and medium size bags in the

large bag. Seal large bag. Verify and date YELLOW I.D. tag and attach to outside of large bag.

Check here after placing the large bag in a Tyvek envelope addressed to NATIONAL LABORATORY.

ENTER enumerator and supervisor numbers and sign name.

12. WITHIN COUNT AREAS -- Clip and Count all heads in count area of BOTH units following steps below.

Use a separate large bag for each unit.

Step 1 -- Clip all heads in Late Boot at base of top foliage leaf in Row 1 - Compare with item 8 count.

Step 2 -- Clip all Emerged heads 1/2 inch below head in Row 1 - Compare with item 9a count and place

emerged heads in same bag with late boot heads.

Step 3 -- Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Rows 2 and 3. -- Check counts.

Step 4 -- Pick up all Detached Heads on ground in unit counted in item 9b. Place in bag with clipped heads.

Copy recorded heads from items 8 and 9 of Form B onto PINK I.D. Tags.

Date & attach one I.D. Tag to each large bag.
