You see Forreston's grain elevator well before you see Forreston, standing over the Ogle County fields where Highways 26 and 72 cross. Denning Maintenance Services LLC works these yards on both sides of the year. In the green half it is mowing, trimming and edging, holding village lots and farmstead lawns neat right up to the fence line, then gathering leaves when the maples let go in October. In the white half the blade goes on and the day starts early: drives opened, walks shoveled and salted, the ridge of plow-spill cut away from the road end. Between Baileyville and Polo the wind can pack a drift solid, and beating it before breakfast is its own reward.
