  2. 02Collect production evidence

    No single source captures every harvested, stored, sold, fed or appraised quantity.

  3. 03Reconcile quantity and lineage

    Drying, adjustments, split, merge and commingling can duplicate or lose production.

03 / stop gatesConditions that require local judgment
  • G01

    This audit provides no APH, approved yield, acceptable-record, adjustment, assigned-yield, deadline or coverage determination.

  • G02

    Do not treat yield-monitor totals as certified production without reconciliation.

  • G03

    Never invent allocation precision when source records are incomplete.

Why this stage matters

Freeze reporting basis

Current unit structure may differ from field, storage or prior-year records.

  1. 01Identify policy, crop year, county, crop, practice, type and applicable unit or database basis
  2. 02Crosswalk acreage, fields, shares and required production scope under current provider instructions
  3. 03Identify authorized preparer, reviewer and certifier
Follow the stages in order, then return to earlier observations whenever field conditions, crop response, safety requirements, or local guidance change the decision.
