Harvested_Extent-Yala_Seasons-1979-2025.xlsx RAINFED: districts do not sum to the sheet's 'Sri Lanka' row
Harvested_Extent-Yala_Seasons-1979-2025.xlsx, 1985 column: Gampaha's own row is [Major 1645, Minor 1187, Rainfed 3274, Total 12106] - components sum to 6,106, not 12,106 (short by 6,000), which alone accounts for nearly all of this check's 5,940 gap between the Sri Lanka Rainfed total and the district sum.
