Colfax sits in the deep black soil of McLean County, ground so rich that by midsummer the fields around the village stand green right up to the sky. Mornings start with heavy dew on everything and meadowlarks calling from the fence lines, and in that kind of soil a lawn will grow as fast as it is allowed. Central Illinois Service Co. mows and trims Colfax lawns to keep them in step with all that growth. A clean-cut lawn beside a farm-country road carries a particular kind of pride, a neat green answer to the endless rows beyond. It is good, grounded work in a place that takes growing seriously.
