About C and S Ground Works

North Judson grew up around its rail junction, and the old depot and the Hoosier Valley museum yard still anchor the town the way the grain elevator anchors the fields just past its edge. This groundwork crew works those open, flat properties where the wind has nothing to slow it down, plowing driveways and lot edges while loose snow skips sideways across the road in long white ribbons. Winter out here is a wind problem as much as a snow problem — a cleared driveway can drift back over within the hour if the crew doesn't time it right behind the worst of a gust. Farmhouses set back long from the road get the same attention as the shorter in-town drives near the old rail line, one plow pass at a time. It's flat, exposed country, this stretch of Starke County, and clearing it well means reading the wind almost as much as the storm itself.
