Orient before entering the field.
Connect the intended outcomes, operating stages, stop conditions, and supporting technology concepts before opening the detailed action sequence.
- 01Report at an evidence-supported unit basis
- 02Connect every quantity to original records
- 03Reconcile storage, transfers and commingling
- 04Retain certification and provider outcome
- 01Freeze reporting basis
Current unit structure may differ from field, storage or prior-year records.
3 field actions ↓ - 02Collect production evidence
No single source captures every harvested, stored, sold, fed or appraised quantity.
3 field actions ↓ - 03Reconcile quantity and lineage
Drying, adjustments, split, merge and commingling can duplicate or lose production.
3 field actions ↓ - 04Review, certify and retain
A working schedule does not become a provider-accepted production report automatically.
3 field actions ↓
- 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.
Freeze reporting basis
Current unit structure may differ from field, storage or prior-year records.
- 01Identify policy, crop year, county, crop, practice, type and applicable unit or database basis
- 02Crosswalk acreage, fields, shares and required production scope under current provider instructions
- 03Identify authorized preparer, reviewer and certifier
Collect production evidence
No single source captures every harvested, stored, sold, fed or appraised quantity.
- 01Gather machine records, scale and load tickets, buyer and warehouse documents, storage measurements and authorized appraisals
- 02Record identifiers, dates, units, quantity basis, source authority and originals
- 03Include feed or seed use, losses, transfers and other dispositions where relevant to the required report
Reconcile quantity and lineage
Drying, adjustments, split, merge and commingling can duplicate or lose production.
- 01Trace field-to-unit-to-storage or buyer movement
- 02Recalculate conversions and adjustments only from documented methods
- 03Expose duplicates, gaps, unallocated quantities, estimates and uncertainty
Review, certify and retain
A working schedule does not become a provider-accepted production report automatically.
- 01Compare report lines with controlled supporting schedules
- 02Record signature, authority, submission date, receipt and retained copy
- 03Preserve provider questions, corrections or assigned state only as officially communicated
