Fog lies along the Clyde River until the sun clears the ridge, and the first mow of the day goes down through wet grass that stands right back up behind the machine. United Ag & Turf works the turf side of the Kingdom out of Newport: mowing, trimming, edging, seeding and feeding, plus the raking-out that starts the year and the leaf work that ends it. A sharp blade cuts grass and a dull one tears it, and the difference shows up a week later in the color. Details like that are the whole distance between mown and cut. By eight in the morning the fog has lifted and the day's first lawns are standing there striped and even.
