Episode Details

North Carolina’s drought is hitting hard—especially around Wilmington—turning dry lawns into a crisis for businesses that depend on the land. Turf Masters Sod Farms owner Daniel McIntyre, with 30+ years in the game, says inconsistent rain is crippling his operation, slowing down sod production and dragging down landscapers and construction crews. Quick showers won’t cut it—what’s needed is a long, soaking downpour. Landscaper Andrew Clemmons is sweating through the heat, his crew guzzling water as sod dries faster than they can lay it, and dust is making outdoor work miserable. Still, McIntyre sees a silver lining: drought can actually toughen grass roots. He’s holding tight, confident that relief is on the way.
