Dust: Release!

Mission:

Since he'd last seen this farm at Iwa's edge about two months had passed, and Nakaba came just as prepared to work today as he had previously. This time he was dragging a large cart behind him filled with bags and bags of dust and powdered, hazardous chemicals. The farmer and her sharecroppers had already picked the beans from their stalks. Now it was time for phase two of the rotation to revivify the land again. Nakaba went through for the first half of the morning cutting down most of the stalks with a scythe, clearing most of the mess away and bagging them by his gear.

As the Sun's path peaked Nakaba moved on from clearing the bean litter leaving mostly just stubs to spreading the bags of dust evenly over most of the fields. Pushing a modified wheel barrel, the powder was slung out of a hole on the bottom off of a gear and evenly displaced across a 2 meter diameter circle around him. Sodium Nitrate, Calcium Carbonate, Dried dung, and small amounts of other chemicals were spread evenly over the farmers acres to enhance his soil. Up in the mountains Iwa's soil was naturally abundant in nutrients, and simply shipping in new soil was the easiest option available. The land of wind, not having that benefit, developed more precise farming techniques.

Switching to his last real task, Nakaba attached a wide plow to two oxen, and, standing on the back of it, began turning over the soil. Slowly but surely as the nutrients began to mix withe the soft, cut, verdant stubs and roots of the beans he could see the deep, rich replenished color of the soil that was missing months ago expressed as deeper dirt integrated with the dirt at the surface. Satisfied, Nakaba would pass the job off to the sharecroppers, and would go retrieve his last cart from the outskirts of the farm. The beginning of some composted materials. The genin would leave a truly massive amount of organic waste at an empty section of the plot and after giving verbal instructions would leave the bags of cut beanstalks nearby. Doing the simple, assigned task of irrigating the land after the sharecroppers finished planting winter rye or sorghum, Nakaba left for the day.
