Warming up

The weather is warming up again, and we have not had much moisture lately.  The men are going to get anxious to get out in the field!  Quentin has been working on fertilizer "prescriptions".  He has been going over the soil test results and trying to figure out which recommendations make sense and which are not economical.  He is able to vary the rates across the field, too, which adds some complexity to writing prescriptions.  The great part is that he can get everything set up ahead of time on the computer while it is still cold and wet.  Once they get the tractor rolling, it is just a matter of getting the right fertilizer mix to the right field.
