By seven on an August morning the dew is still down in Pana and the grain elevator throws a long shadow toward the fields. That is when Gibson Enterprises starts — cutting, trimming and edging while the air is cool enough to work in. Out here the corn runs to the horizon in green ranks, and a lawn mown in clean parallel stripes belongs to the same geometry. The reward is simple and visible from the road: a yard squared away, borders tight, clippings swept off the walk. It is ordinary work, and Pana is a town that notices when it is done right.
