There has been a shortage of labour in the turfgrass industry for some time now. Covid has exacibated the issue further with even very high end facilities now struggle to attract and retain. It's a result of decades of poor working conditions. Mowing with a triples offers

@groundsmaiden @Richard71374641 Employers need to be awoken to the tsunami of labour shortages now in transit. Good will and dedication of turfpros allowing issue not to manifest sooner. Poor T&C's are the issue. Selling fairy tails to young people is no solution. Dignity & Respect is! @BIGGALtd @ATPI21 @GCSAA

I wasn’t the best Super in the profession but I was at the top of the heap when it came to building teams! I didn’t care that my team members were smarter than me, I didn’t care that they knew more than me! All I care about is that they worked for me!
