Grower notes
They walked the three river plots with my son, who actually ran the combine. The note listed lodging on the west headland that I had waved away during harvest. I still think they spent too long on a wet corner we will not crop next year, but the rest of the write-up matches what the wagons did.

Two seasons of weighbridge slips were in a biscuit tin, most without a field name. Tamar sat with last year’s sowing map and my driver’s memory. We now have plot totals I trust enough to argue with the landlord, which is all I needed.

The morning walk was for two adjacent blocks planted a week apart. They counted blank spaces along the drip line instead of talking about ‘vigour’. I kept the sketch they made on the orchard gate.

After harvest we sat in the drying shed with the yield notes from the visit. They would not let me average the hill field with the flat one. That annoyed me for an hour and then saved me from ordering the same seed rate on both.

Levan’s holding had been rented on a farm-wide maize figure for years. The landlord wanted a higher share; Levan wanted the river ground judged on its own lodging. A seasonal yield visit was booked for the week the last wagons ran.
Nino and Giorgi walked with Levan’s son, who had sat in the cab. Weighbridge tickets already existed; few had a plot name. The visit did not invent tonnes. It matched loads the family could remember to the three river boundaries and wrote the west headland lodging in a sentence the son signed as fair.
The mild quarrel, which Levan still repeats, was time spent on a wet corner they intend to grass. The rest of the note was used in the rent conversation the following month. That is the kind of evidence this page is for: a named field, a constraint, and a piece of paper that survived the argument.
