There are around 50,000 square miles of lawns in the United States, meaning green grass is technically the nation’s largest irrigated crop by area — and for people like Haden Handley of Buffalo FFA in West Virginia, managing all that grass is a way of life.
For his supervised agricultural experience (SAE), Handley is the owner and operator of H&H Lawn Care & Landscaping in the Kanawha Valley. He provides mowing, trimming, fertilizing and weed control services in addition to doing landscaping design and installations. He was named an American Star in Agribusiness Finalist at the 95th National FFA Convention and Expo.
He shares more with Broadcast Desk Intern Michelle Stangler.
