The secret to a smooth, slightly sloped (graded) field is the use of the leveler.  It’s important to make sure the water will run down-hill, that there are no flat spots for the water to collect and pool and no giant humps for the water to try to run up over. 

After leveling, Terry marks the field out and starts the water.  We now have water in both alfalfa fields, the soon to be a corn field, and this one which will raise corn.  The bean field is just  ripped, rolled and marked.  It’s nice to not have to work very hard on one crop.  Saves time, fuel, therefore Money!!!
