In Ione, Willow Creek draws a thin green thread through Morrow County wheat country that turns the color of bread crust by July. IonGrass LLC keeps the town's landscapes on the green side of that thread. Mowing starts while the air off the rolling grain hills is still cool, and before the day heats up the grass stands even and the beds look tended. Out on this dry plateau a watered lawn is a small act of faith, and IonGrass treats each one that way. When harvest dust drifts over town in late summer, the yards it keeps still look like somebody meant them.
