1. State the purpose of the Soybean Objective Yield survey in your own words:
*2. T/F: You may contact the operator when your training is complete.

*4. T/F: Form B counts should only be taken during the official survey period. The only exception is at harvest.
*5. When no rows can be distinguished and broadcast procedures are used to lay out the unit, what do you enter for the row space measurements in item 5 of the Form B?
*6. When laying out the sample unit with the soybean frame, which is closest to the 5-foot buffer zone?
*7. Observations in the 3-foot row sections are completed for which maturity stages?
*8. If pods are set and leaves are still green, the maturity stage of the unit should be classified as:
*9. When a sample unit is classified as maturity stage 2, counts in the 6-inch row sections are completed for:
*10. When counting nodes for Item 9, if the tip of the plant is still growing you should ____________________.
*11. When a sample unit is in maturity stage 5, pods are harvested from all plants in the ____________________.
*12. If one unit is classified in maturity stage 5 and the other is maturity stage 4, you should _________________.
*13. If one unit was harvested but the other unit didn’t have pods to harvest, how many ID tags are mailed to the lab?
*14. How many beans per square foot equals a harvest loss of about one bushel per acre?

*16. T/F Reporting Mode in CAPI must be entered.
*17. If available, what is your first option for shipping OY field samples?
*18. Form B status codes are used to identify the sample’s status for the current enumeration period ________________.
*19. What status code(s) should be selected when the sample unit has a maturity code of 5 and you have harvested and packaged the final pre-harvest samples for shipment to the National Laboratory for processing?
*20. Match the Form B status code with the correct Soybean Form B status code definition:
a.) Inaccessible
b.) Sample field planted to soybeans but

c.) Unit harvested earlier.
d.) No soybeans planted for harvest as beans
in the tract.
e.) Farmer harvested for grain AFTER units
were laid out.
f.) Lost Sample – Field NOT harvested for
beans.
g.) Farmer
harvested for grain BEFORE units were laid out.
