In Oklahoma, Texas, and Kansas, the eastern red-cedar (Juniperus virginiana L.) has substantially reduced livestock production and profitability by 75% in the rangelands it invades.

Originally limited to rocky bluffs and other areas where fire couldn't reach them, eastern red-cedar tree populations expanded with the introduction of European land management practices to the United States. A decrease in controlled burns allowed forests to spread, including this now-invasive species. It extended from its native Kansas to nearby states, where it overtakes prairie plant life.

Roughly a third of new businesses exit within their first two years, and half exit within their first five years.”  To last 20 years in the competitive landscape of American business is an accomplishment certainly worthy of celebration. The year 2020 marks the 20^th year Diamond Mowers has been in business and there are a few notes on our path to this milestone worth sharing.
