The End of the Mowing Season

By Steve Lombardi

I love the fall season for the cooler weather, but just before fall starts, there is the end of summer blues.

With the end of the mowing season fall cleanup can't be far behind. Getting all the summer equipment winterized and stored for winter is a signal that winter can't be far off.

Robert Uhler died in early September while working on a utility tractor. Whatever happened pinned him underneath it. The local Sheriff concluded Mr. Uhler tried to start the tractor while not on it, the tractor lurched forward and he was killed. We wish his family well.

Mr. Uhler's incident should remind us all that safety never takes a vacation. With the cold weather coming on it's easy to get in a hurry or to rush to get jobs completed. As you can surely see we have to keep our heads about us while getting the season-ending work done. Stay safe, watch out, think and avoid unnecessary risk.
