Evolving Expectations on Worksites, Part 1…continued from page 16
This does not just pertain to the changes with COVID.
Nationally right now fuel costs are rising again and that's
another thing that can have a big impact on our company's
books. We just need to stay on top of that kind of stuff.
I fought wildland fire for 20 years in a previous life, and we
had a saying that we used with our crew, "Adapt, improvise,
and overcome." That just fits for any industry, and certainly
for the situation we are in.
We have to be willing and ready to adapt at a moment's
notice, change the way we're doing things, and keep
moving forward to overcome the situation. So that's what I'll
leave you with. v

expectations on farms and agricultural customer sites.
