A name like North 40 belongs to farm country, and Clarkfield wears it well — a prairie town where the fields begin just past the last backyard fence. North 40 Tree And Landscaping does lawn care here, and the mowing season on this side of the state runs well into fall. By September the combines are rolling through the soybeans at dusk and geese are calling overhead, yet the yards in town still want a clean cut and a neat border. Grass mowed evenly and trimmed around trees and fence lines gives a home a settled look against all that wide-open land. It is grounded, honest work in a town that has always lived close to the soil.
