The bud cut figures from the database may be lower or higher than the figure actually cut from Chiefland. On page 7 the figures are used from the
database so that the percentages relate to what was actually reported during the fiscal year. Some years Bud Cutting Reports from the previous fiscal year
were received after the cutoff date and entered into the next year’s database. The Chiefland figures used on this page are the actually number of bud eyes
cut from Chiefland during that fiscal year. This is why the figure is slightly higher than the number in the database and that is reported on page seven.
Bud Cutting Reports are normally accepted until July 15, after which the database is closed and any straggler reports are entered into the following year’s
database.
