February 1977
After a tiresome January, we didn't do much in February.. Better take some time of before March comes and we can start working the soil again.
March 1977
After taking care of our now 11 month old horses, they are worth 1805 a piece.. Up from 1550 in January. That's $127.5 more per month. Down from 128 steady.. As the game use decimals, I guess the additional value might be between 127 and 128 and we now rounded the other way around, but lets ensure it's not the start of declining returns
Finally we can start cultivating and rolling our oilseed radish fields, getting a seedbed ready.. Bud and Laurie is doing the work there.. I'll see if I can test out if we can fertilize our fields with slurry and manure that we've collected so far.. Got a feeling we don't have manure and slurry enough to cover a lot, but let's measure and see..
Opting for the tractor with the cab for slurry spreading.. Spreading slurry onto our field 5, we used 3564 liters of slurry for 0.304 hectares, so 11.714 liters/hectares used. Hmm.. We've got quite a bit of slurry left after that.. Maybe we can actually manage to not need to buy fertilizer this year..
Field 4 used another 1741 liters, so 13368 liters/hectares there. A bit more with a non-square and small field I guess.
As field 6 is 1.19 hectares, and we have 14232 liters of slurry left, I think we should have enough to spread slurry on the big field too.. Yay
