All wrapped up

And I thought that keeping a turf barn organized was complicated some days. After visiting the Ontario Seed Company in the Kitchener/Waterloo area, it was very clear a turf barn is not hard at all. In a turf barn, there are a limited amount of things we have to keep organized, and most of them are stationary. Stationary in that they do not change, and they will always go back to the place that they started in.

This is not the story at all for the warehouses at the OSC. Both warehouses, that which stores the chemicals and fertilizers, and the one that stores all the products never look the same. There are constantly items moving in and out of there, and I would say it is hard to keep track of everything. Yet the men who work and run these warehouses are extremely organized and they are able to know what needs to go where and when. They even have things set up for next year already because they give companies the opportunity to order a season ahead, store it at the warehouse for the winter and have it dropped off next season.

This was an informative field trip for me, because it helped me see some of the options that are out there. I know that I have a problem with needing things to be organized all the time, and keeping some items stored at a warehouse for the off season would be perfect for me when I one day have my own golf course. This way I still have the product I need, but not until I am prepared to make the room for it.
