IN BUSINESS NEWS, THE SENSKE FAMILY OF COMPANIES CONTINUES ITS NATIONWIDE EXPANSION WITH THE ACQUISITION OF HUERTER LAWN CARE IN THE KANSAS CITY REGION. THE MOVE STRENGTHENS SENSKE’S FOOTPRINT IN THE MIDWEST AND FOLDS HUERTER’S 35-YEAR REPUTATION FOR PREMIUM LAWN SERVICE INTO SENSKE’S GROWING PRO TURF & PRO PEST SOLUTIONS DIVISION. COMPANY CEO NATE HURST SAYS IT’S ALL ABOUT SCALABILITY WITHOUT LOSING THE LOCAL TOUCH — KEEPING COMMUNITY TRUST FRONT AND CENTER WHILE IMPROVING OPERATIONAL REACH.

FROM THE BOARDROOM TO THE EQUIPMENT YARD, LET’S TALK ABOUT NEW INNOVATION. OTR ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS HAS JUST ROLLED OUT THE WORKBOSS CT — A NEXT-GENERATION COMPACT-TRACTOR TIRE BUILT FOR HYBRID PERFORMANCE ACROSS TURF AND HARDSCAPE. THE NON-DIRECTIONAL TREAD DESIGN PROMISES BETTER TRACTION, LESS RUTTING, AND LONGER LIFE — MAKING IT A SMART UPGRADE FOR CREWS MANAGING MIXED TERRAIN. INDUSTRY PROS SAY INNOVATIONS LIKE THIS ARE HELPING REDUCE DOWNTIME, BOOST EFFICIENCY, AND EXTEND THE LIFE OF HIGH-DEMAND EQUIPMENT.

AND FINALLY, WE WRAP THINGS UP WITH A STORY THAT REMINDS US WHY THIS INDUSTRY’S ROOTS RUN DEEP IN COMMUNITY.
