1. Sample size:  10-50 g (amount can vary)
2. Sample type:  Whole kernels (unless other arrangements have been made)
3. Packaging:  Individual envelopes labeled with a sample number that corresponds to a submitted datasheet.
4. Datasheets:  Excel preferred.
1. We would like to see you File Name contain the crop year, PI, project description, and the sample number range. For example: “2021 Schwarz malt experiment (1-50)”.
2. Please include an extra column or line in the data sheet, if the submitted samples are to be charged to another PI’s allotment (i.e. submitted by Schwarz but charge to Rao).
3. We would prefer that you use a unique sample number range for each set submitted. In other words, if your allotment is 150, don’t submit multiple sets labeled 1-50. Sample set labeled 1-50, 51-100, and 101-150 would be preferable. (See Example 1)
