A4.2 use effective documentation practices to record and track important information (e.g., preparing estimates, recording costs, recording crop yields, preparing inventories, completing equip- ment maintenance records);
A4.3 identify technical issues of current signifi- cance in the green industries, using information from general media sources (e.g., newspapers, magazines, the Internet);
A4.4 perform measurements and calculations accurately for a variety of green industry appli- cations (e.g., determining basal area, animal weight, crown size, slope; invoicing; surveying).
