Rules 2,4,5
In performing statistical comparisons for hay production when sample areas are harvested, harvest results of the randomly assigned sample areas will be compared using a t-test to ninety percent of the target or reference yield with a ninety percent confidence interval. The hypotheses should be set up as follows:
Null hypothesis: hay yield on release area >= 90% of target yield.
Alternate hypothesis: hay yield on release area < 90% of target yield.
If USDA/NRCS target yield is used as a standard, the tonnage of forage produced must be divided by 22,687.5 to convert it to sample frame weights.
