To the extent practicable, the sample increments obtained from an unpacked harvest batch shall be of equal weight; and(3) To the extent practicable, collect an equal number of sample increments from each container if the unpacked harvest batch is stored in multiple containers. | Unpacked Harvest Batch Size (pounds) | Number of Increments (per sample) |
