A practical checklist

  1. Name the machine or recognizable equipment identifier in the activity notes.
  2. Copy the settings and their units from the source rather than relying on shorthand.
  3. Record the point where settings changed and identify the section after the change.
Illustrative recordA worked example

Seeding notes: “Drill D2; setting recorded as 14 on machine scale. Changed to 15 after reaching the east lane.” The note preserves the machine scale without claiming either number is kilograms per hectare.

What to avoid

A dial setting is not a measured application rate. Do not put it in the quantity field unless it actually represents a supported quantity unit.
