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

since harvest, select an alternate field for gleaning if one is available in the tract.

YES – If YES, lay out post-harvest units in alternate field. The item 2 counts will be made in the post-harvest units.	NO – If NO, go to the ORIGINAL UNITS and continue with item 2. If the original unit(s) cannot be located, lay out post-harvest units and make the item 2 counts from the post-harvest units.
