Project Code 104 QID 120032E		OMB No. 0535-0088: Approval Expires 7/31/2018
	FORM E CORN YIELD SURVEY POST-HARVEST GLEANINGS 2018			NATIONAL AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS SERVICE

			Date:

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.

FIELD OBSERVATIONS		UNIT 1			UNIT 2

4. Pick up loose grain in the middle of first row of each unit. Deposit in separate paper bag. Identify bag as “loose grain” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .	Check

5. Was an alternate field used for making post-harvest observations?
YES—(Indicate in Field Notes) NO
	FIELD NOTES: If post-harvest observations cannot be made, give reasons here.

1/If sample weight is too small for moisture test, sufficient grains 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
