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.

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)
