Transcription Notes:
---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-23 09:08:38 Pls read instructions, this page marked complete with nothing but table headings transcribed and no blanks filled in 5/21 - fully transcribed - rather than make the bottom portion of table info fit into the top headings, I created a second table to transcribe the text (right, wrong or indifferent) - just made sense to me to do so, also made sense to enter text starting with 'Number of acres....' into first column of first table rather than in other cells where the text is displayed, thought better for readability - Goodness! - pls review ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-05-23 12:21:59
