Carrier is a handful of streets and a grain elevator standing over Garfield County wheat, visible from miles of section-line road. In late June the harvest dust hangs pink in the last light and the horizon goes on without interruption in every direction. Johnston Seed Company Sod Farm keeps lawns in that open country — mowing, edging, trimming, hauling off clippings, and the cleanups that follow a hard wind. Out here a mown yard is a small, deliberate square of order set against a great deal of sky. The first pass goes out at dawn, before the heat, while dew still weights the blades.
