1 Welcome to the National Corn Yield Contest Supervisor Training Program As a supervisor, your integrity and attention to detail will contribute to the success of this year's contest. This learning tool will help you perform your duties as a National Corn Yield Contest Supervisor. 1
2 Understanding Your Role and Responsibilities During the Contest Over the years the contest has been recognized for its integrity and credibility which is due in large part to the network of local supervisors (you) who verify the accuracy of yields submitted for competition. 2
3 Supervisor Qualifications Be sure that you are qualified as a supervisor according to the definitions found on page 6 in the Entry & Harvest Rules Book. Click here to view the Harvest Rules * Questions or concerns regarding your position qualifications, contact NCGA:
4 2013 NCGA Corn Yield Contest Harvest Key Points: Carefully and legibly fill out all areas of the Harvest Form Get all required signatures The Entrant, Supervisor or interested party must mail the completed form and all original weight tickets to the NCGA office the earlier of seven days after the final yield check per individual entry is taken or postmarked by November 22,
5 Review of Field Requirements of the Harvest Rules Be sure that you are familiar with the Field Requirements of the Harvest Rules. The contest area may be any shape, but it must be 10 continuous acres of the same Hybrid Brand and Hybrid Number. Be sure to verify the row lengths being harvesting. 5
6 Initial Yield Checks w/ one supervisor present If a yield check resulting in a yield of or less than bushels per acre, NO recheck is required. An initial yield check of bushels per acres or more requires a recheck and two qualified supervisors must be present for this recheck. *Re-check may be conducted with the initial supervisor AND another NCGA approved supervisor or two new NCGA approved supervisors. Approved supervisors include approved supervisors listed on the Entry Confirmation or listed on the supervisor online list. 6
7 Initial Yield Checks w/ one supervisor present Cont d If the resulting yield is or more bushels per acre a recheck is required with two NCGA approved supervisors Approved supervisors include approved supervisors listed on the Entry Confirmation or listed on the supervisor online list. (636) M-F 8:00 5:00PM CST (314) Weekends and Evenings 7
8 Initial Harvest with two Supervisors If the resulting yield is or less than bushels per acre, NO recheck is required. If the resulting yield is or more bushels per acre a recheck is required with two NCGA Approved Supervisors. Approved supervisors include approved supervisors listed on the Entry Confirmation or listed on the supervisor online list. (636) M-F 8:00 5:00PM CST (314) Weekends and Evenings 8
9 Regardless of the Number of Supervisors or more bushels per acre on ALL INITIAL AND RECHECK yields require an immediate call to the NCGA office Do not complete harvest of remaining contest acres until confirmation is received from NCGA (636) M-F 8-5:00pm CST (314) Weekends and Evenings 9
10 Pre-Harvest Inspection The Supervisor(s) must have the entrant run the combine and the transfer auger empty to make certain no corn has been left in it by mistake. All wagons or trucks must be checked to make certain they are empty. All end rows/turning rows and the equal number of outermost rows on each side of the field may not be a part of the contest plot. 10
11 Supervisors must be present during: Harvesting Transporting Weighing Moisture Testing **The supervisors are responsible for overseeing all computations and field measurements. 11
12 Measuring The plot being harvested must be measured to determine its area, and all measurements must be made with one of the following: Tape Chain Measuring wheel GPS systems ARE NOT accepted as a measuring device 12
13 Measuring The measuring wheel can only be used when walking-it. Maintain good contact with the ground and avoid wheel skips. If possible, measure a distance with the wheel, and then check it with a tape to ensure that the wheel is accurate. Row lengths and row widths must be measured, recorded, and verified in accordance to the Harvest Rules. 13
14 How to Harvest the Plot Harvest one pass across the field Then skip three times the amount of rows harvested Harvest another pass until the required 1.25 or more acres have been harvested. Example: Four-row harvester Six-row harvester Eight-row harvester needed Twelve-row harvester Harvest four rows, skip twelve, harvest four, skip twelve, repeat as needed Harvest six rows, skip eighteen, harvest six, skip eighteen, repeat as needed Harvest eight rows, skip twenty-four, harvest eight, skip twenty-four, repeat as Harvest twelve rows, skip thirty-six, harvest twelve, skip thirty-six, repeat as needed 14
15 Calculating Yield Requires Row length Row width (spacing between planter rows) Number of rows harvested in one header pass Square feet in one acre (43,560) Moisture Percentage **Remember to harvest enough total rows to meet the required minimum acreage of
16 Calculating Yield The Harvest Form provides the calculations that must be used to arrive at the harvest yield, carried out to four decimal places. Follow the formulas very carefully and recheck your answers to ensure accuracy. 16
17 Moisture Testing Run the corn sample through the moisture tester three different times. Re-calibrate the moisture tester between each sampling. Average the three moisture samples for a final moisture percentage **Moisture samples can either be listed on the harvest form or provided with the scale ticket attached to the harvest form. 17
18 Harvesting the Plot Cont d After the required 1.25 acres or more have been harvested, and if the first yield check is 250 bushels or more per acre. The yield must be verified by a recheck of 1.25 acres or more using the initial harvest pattern in the rows next to the first check passes. Only If One supervisor is present- Recheck required for all yields over bushels/acre Two supervisors are present-no Recheck required unless the yield is over bushels/acre *Over bushels also requires a call to the NCGA office* Both the first check and the recheck forms and weight tickets must be sent to the NCGA office. 18
19 In the Field Develop a harvest plan with the entrant to prevent actions that may result in possible disqualification. Be observant of what is being done. Ask for clarifications to make sure you understand all harvest activities taking place. When possible, take the field measurements prior to harvest. 19
20 In the Field All end rows/turning rows and the equal number of outermost rows on each side of the field can not be a part of the harvested area. Supervisors must inspect the field conditions to determine if tillage practices meet class qualifications. 20
21 In the Field As the supervisor, you must remain with the wagons and/or trucks that will transport the crop at all times and keep them in sight. Make sure that the equipment you start the harvest check with is the same equipment you finish with. 21
22 In the Field ***Remember all weigh wagons are prohibited.*** Grain must be weighed on state certified approved scale. All wagons and trucks must be inspected by you. Inspect them on the first check and the second check. Visually check to make sure the hopper and auger are empty. Have the operator run the machines to ensure they are empty. 22
23 At Weighing Before the harvest sample is weighed, certify that a state-inspected scale with current inspection stickers attached will be used. Every time the grain is weighed, you as the supervisor, must be present. 23
24 Procedure Review Failure to follow any portion of the procedures may cause the entrant to be disqualified. It is the supervisor's responsibility to ensure that the rules are followed. 24
25 Procedure Review After harvesting, weigh the corn as soon as possible. As the supervisor, you must remain in visual contact with the corn throughout the entire transportation and weighing process. 25
26 Procedure Review Make sure that the scale used is a state-certified scale with a current inspection sticker. Attach the original weight ticket(s) to the Harvest Form. The ticket must have the name of the weighing company and the person who performed the weighing. 26
27 Procedure Review Moisture testing is an important part of the process. Test the sample three times, using an average of the three. Since the moisture percent must be indicated on the harvest form, you can either: Attach the moisture ticket to the harvest form or Write the moisture percent directly on the form. 27
28 2013 Supervisor Checklist Visual Pre-Harvest YES NO Planting practice match Entry class? YES NO End rows/turning rows pre-harvested? YES NO Harvester was ran to make certain no corn was mistakenly present? YES NO Is all transportation equipment empty?
29 2013 Supervisor Checklist Visual Harvest YES NO Harvester was always in view? YES NO Transportation equipment always in view? YES NO Transfer of grain started & completed with supervisor present? YES NO A minimum of at least 1.25 acres were harvested

31 2013 Supervisor Checklist Other Considerations YES NO If measurement by wheel, was the calibrations checked? YES NO Were harvest rules provided by the entrant?
32 Harvest Report Form In Summary, in order to complete the Entry for the National Corn Yield Contest, you must carefully and legibly fill all areas of the Harvest Form: Get all required signatures. The Entrant is responsible for mailing the completed form and all weight tickets to the NCGA office or filling out the online harvest form and mailing in a copy of the confirmation with the scale tickets the earlier of seven days after the final yield check per individual entry is taken or postmarked by November 22,
