Terry is leveling the fields now.
The next step depends on what we put in the field….if it’s alfalfa, then we will plant that field
If it’s corn, then the next step will be to mark it out, and we irrigate.
We are a tad concerned about the irrigation water this year. All the people who have a pump in the ditches and canals are being put on meters (yes, not lots of water this coming year). The farmers are being told we are going to be starting at 50% unless something changes in the mountains, like more snow.
All the big farmers around us — those that plant 2,000 acres or more are preparing everything they have. Us? We are going to leave some land sit.
I guess time will tell.

I hope the water situation doesn’t get as bad as you are cdconcerned it might be. Hopefully April showers (or snow) will be good to you.
