*Grace*In early April, the temperatures finally get warm enough to prep the fields. Using the tractor, I till, leaving a clean, firm seed bed I’m proud of. In the west acreage, I work in the eighty pounds of nitrogen per acre the beets will need.The corn and soybeans need a different watering schedule than the beets, and after messing with the timers on the irrigation system for several days, I finally give up and decide I’ll manually run the water for them, rather than risk overwatering.Rob and I are sharing a bathroom now while he finishes retiling, which has been interesting. The two of us have a war of politeness going on, each fighting over who showers last. I think he likes having the bathroom already warm, but I absolutely love saturating myself in the smell of his body wash, and since he usually has to leave for school before I have to do anything, I typically win.
