Robert Gray of the Western Brown FFA Chapter in Ohio started his foray into lawn care when his grandmother needed help maintaining her property. He began mowing and weed-eating her yard every other weekend. His interest in the work grew until he started working as a lawn technician for a local company. His duties include mowing, weed-eating, blowing off surfaces, trimming, edging, spraying, and performing equipment cleaning and maintenance. Gray is supported by his parents, Sabrina and Ronald, and his FFA advisor, Ryan Rosselot. John Deere and Tractor Supply Company sponsor this proficiency.
He discusses the details of his project with Broadcast Desk Intern, Lydia Johnson.
