Ep 375. Every Season Brings a New Challenge!

Let's talk, uh, coastal fertilization.

We still have two rounds to go.

Fell a little bit behind on some, with some weed controls and weather and stuff.

Uh, we got one month of app five, and then what we do is, uh, we have app six and seven that are banded together, which is a, a, um, lime and, uh, winter, winter app.

So lay it down and get it ready.

Uh, right now I'm, uh, I'm up early doing something with some vehicles, moving them around, getting them serviced.

And then, uh, I'm gonna be out in the field today doing 27 apps.

That's where I l-- And I'm happy to do it.

Play catch up a little bit, get everything ready, get everything, uh, going.

I love being out in the field and, uh, when I can, that's where we do the best, and, uh, we always have.

And, uh, you always think it's like, "Hey, I might need another guy." Right now we're-- we have one super efficient guy, Andrew, and he's our go-to guy.

And you think it's like, "Oh, well, maybe I'll get another guy, so I don't have to go out there." But we're-- It's not there yet.

It's not where we can pick up the slack.

Yeah, maybe I need one and a half, one and a half guys or one and one quarter guy part-time, but...

Or I could just, you know, bite the bullet and get out there and, uh, keep labor low.

I mean, yeah, people could be saying, "Yeah, I could be doing something else." Could, but, you know, I don't know.

I think it's, uh, sometimes good to get out there and see what-- get your finger on the pulse of your business, not let it get away from you.

Totally new year, different year, different challenges.

From one year it goes to having three guys, the next year you, you lose two of them at the end of the year.

You have one guy, but you find out you can be efficient.

Another year you have, uh, weather issues.

Another n- year you have different equipment issues.

You have truck, trucks break down.

We have had one year where truck just keeping breaking down, costing us, you know, money to fix it.

Managing things as they come.
