Transport<br />
Vehicle<br />
<strong>Program</strong> vehicles for transporting samples must remain on the road,<br />
highway, or thoroughfare that is near, but not on the infested field<br />
property.<br />
Seed potato soil samples are only placed in vehicles 1 that have never<br />
been in infested areas or carried samples from infested areas.<br />
If a program does not yet have a vehicle (van or truck) dedicated to<br />
seed potato soil sampling transport only, then another vehicle that<br />
has never been near an infested area may be used provided the<br />
interior and exterior has been completely disinfected with steam heat<br />
treatment.<br />
Loading Sample Collection Bags<br />
The survey crew will place the soil samples into the program vehicles.<br />
Transport vehicles must remain off the survey property, and on the<br />
highway, road, or thoroughfare.<br />
Load the sample bags into the transport vehicle (van or truck) as<br />
follows:<br />
1. Place each sample bag in the vehicle in consecutive order (by bag<br />
number), either starting with the first bag (marked 1) and ending<br />
with the last bag (marked END), or reverse starting with the last<br />
bag (END) and ending with the first bag (1).<br />
1 Currently, one truck in Avoca is dedicated for seed sample collection transportation.<br />
