Thursday Happenings: The 500,000

1. First, 1, 2, 3 ,4 ,5 ,6.......
The art of counting. Do you know how to do that? No? Me too. Remember last tuesday that we had a crop-cut. The harvested hills were put in 1 sack per plot. We threshed the hills in every sack and put the spikelets into three other sacks. The best part is, we were made to count how many are the filled spikelets and the unfilled spikelets for every sack. For every sack, we counted approximately 150,000 filled and 10,000 unfilled. It was so tiring. We were made to do it the whole day.
2. Last, The Moisture Meter
This one is the most easy one. We should get about 3 samples of 1/4 a teaspoon filled spikelets for every sack. All we need to do is crush the spikelets in the turning thing and measure its moisture content.
