A practical checklist
- Gather notebook notes, load slips, photos, and messages that identify actual work.
- Create one entry per identifiable job and use a confirmed work date where available.
- Write the source and any unresolved detail in notes so later readers can assess the entry.
A dated load slip supports a September 26 harvest entry for North Ridge. Notes say “Entered October 2 from slip 184; field confirmed with operator; moisture was not recorded.” The missing detail stays missing.
What to avoid
Do not spread an approximate weekly quantity across days as if those daily figures were measured. Preserve the original scope of the evidence.
