I live in southern Wisconsin, and as recently as July 3 my lawn was so green and thick, full of moisture. In just a few weeks it's dry as can be; haven't had to mow in 11 days. This goes to show you just how volatile and weather-reliant this business can be. If you're in an area hit by a mid-summer dry spell, hopefully your backlog of work is keeping cash flowing.
Let us know how you're doing, and what you're doing, to stay busy in the shop and also sell-down your wholegoods inventory.
