Nil object error for "rake db:migrate"

Rails
1

I’m going to start removing relationships and data-entry during the
migration, but where’s this nil object coming from?

Is it because of the relationship, or is there something wrong with the
way data is entered during the migration? I’m not seeing what would
introduce the nil object :frowning:
