The land around Coopersville opens wide — dairy pasture, corn in long rows, fence lines running to the horizon with a windbreak of maples at the end. Bursley Land Services Llc mows the bigger ground that comes with living out here, along with the edging, trimming and cleanup work that keeps acreage from going shaggy at the margins. A big property is a question of patience: pass after pass in the July sun until the whole field of grass lies one direction and the light runs across it like water. Around the buildings, the trimmer does the finish work, and that is where a place stops looking mowed and starts looking kept. Wide open country deserves a clean line too.
