Enter the amount of all residues on the soil surface, whether fallowed or tilled, or of stubble standing from the previous crop. This should be con- verted to flat small grain stubble equivalent. If a part of a field is cropped and the remainder is fallowed, residue amounts should be entered from both areas.
