Buy Local

It is my hope that you, your family and business are getting through this pandemic without too much disruption and everyone is staying safe. As turfgrass professionals, I do feel that we are fortunate to be able to spend much of our day outdoors in the sunshine, which many health experts say is the best place to be during this pandemic.

It has been a challenge and most of us have had to change the way we interact with our staff, co-workers and customers, and how we do business in general. Speaking with other TCNC members, the green industry has not been as severely impacted like many other industries and I am truly thankful for that. I also feel that since our industry has been so blessed this is our opportunity to help those who this pandemic has severely affected. One of the best ways to do that is to “Buy Local.” Support the businesses in your community. Many of these people are your customers, friends and neighbors and many are hurting, so spend your stimulus money in your own community.

I would like to take his opportunity to thank everyone who supports TCNC, we have a great industry so lets keep it strong. I hope you and your family stay safe and healthy during these challenging times.

God Bless
