Comment:
Harvested soybeans in LTER Main Site, treatments T4 all replications. The west side of each plot was harvested on October 19, 2015. reps: 2, 6, ?, ?, ?, and 1. The east side of each plot was harvested on October 20, 2015. reps: 2, 3, 5, 4, 1, and 6. Entire plot weight was determined by unloading soybeans from the combine to a Brent Weigh Wagon, by Unverferth Co. Plots were divided into an east and west side with 15' of the north and south ends 'headland passes' of the plot being included in the west side. Number of soybean rows harvested from both east and west sides were counted and recorded to determine total area harvested. Smaller micro plots were harvested with the Kincaid plot combine and were not included in the total plot weight. Moisture and test weights were determined using a portable Dicky-john GAC500 XT grain analysis moisture tester. Viking Organic Soybean Seed Variety 0.2265, certified organic soybean seed is what was being harvested. East side of each plot was placed into a grain cleaner (NECO brand grain cleaner, rented from W.J. Stafford) before placement into the weigh wagon.
