The purpose of the visit is to demonstrate and give instructions on yield measurement.
Greetings

Review of the handouts
• 5th Visit handout
• Yield recording sheet
• Rain record sheets to know the amount of rain received during this season
Demonstrations
We demonstrated how to collect data from corn and bean plot by measurin10 m row and counting the number of plants (in three different locations within the demonstration plot) for the number of corn ears and yield determination, this was demonstrated by using a meter tape, and the spray paint to mark the demarcations within which the yield data should be obtained.
Plots information
Corn and beans were not yet harvested and crops are almost ready for harvesting. Both plots had weeds they didn’t weed because they said that crops were matured.
Comments
We told them to keep weeding the plots even after harvesting so that they can prevent weeds to make seeds for the next growing season.
Conclusion
On behalf of the congregation pastor thanked us for the training we are doing and visiting them several times a year. We encouraged them to collect the data as we instructed them to do.
