Valley stage

Irrigation is ballast. Heat is a thief. Name both.

Noor reads the valley the way a clerk reads a canal gate. A stamp that ignored the climate is just orange paint.

When the canals run, morning turf holds and carries shrink. When the bake takes over, carries stretch and stacked bays look honest until the next dawn. We keep a climate note on every sheet so a July recheck is not a fight about memory.

If you refuse to name a climate, Pilar files the sheet as "costume" and we stop.
