“2005 was a year of significant advancements at the United Way of Mower County.”

“The tawny mowers enter next, / Who seem like Israelites to be / Walking on foot through a green sea.”
Andrew Marvell

Edward Shenk
“Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up: / Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.”
Bible
“A rotary blade on a mower is hammering a grass blade. If the blade is sharp, there's less tearing and better healing. It's like I ask people: Would you rather have someone make an incision on you with a scalpel or a chain saw? That's the difference.”
Bob Dale
“The mower was on top of him, and I grabbed the side and lifted it off him. I wanted to get the weight off him.”
Jim Brooks
“No county has a 2005 deviation greater than its 1988 deviation, a year that was the worst for many counties. However, deviations for some counties in 2005 are large and in the 'second tier' of yield loses. While genetic improvements may have reduced yield losses, large negative yield deviations are still possible.”
