Harvest Leaders’ Sit Down Series
Harvesting Your Leadership Potential

DR. CHARLIE HALL PROFESSOR AT TEXAS A & M IS GOING TO SIT DOWN WITH THE HARVESTERS THIS MONTH!
Lawn and landscape business owners are familiar with the cyclical nature of the industry. A season can go awry from drought, weed/insect/disease infestations, lack of labor and so on. But there’s never been a season quite like this year. What started with questions of whether or not the lawn and landscape industry was essential, led to a gangbuster year for most well-rounded companies.
But what will next year bring? Will landscape companies have enough cash to weather next year’s storms? How will the election impact the economy? Will small businesses recover from the pandemic? Will more stimulus money flow? And, what’s the short- and long-term result of the government printing trillions of dollars?

Who has the answers?

In our new Harvest Leaders’ Sit Down series, The Harvesters will interview Dr. Charlie Hall, a professor at Texas A&M who grew up in the nursery business and became an economist. Dr. Hall has an uncanny presentation style that will give landscape contractors insight into today’s economy and his predictions for 2021 and beyond.
The Harvest Leaders’ Sit Down interview will take place on Sept. 23 at 1:30 p.m. EDT. 
Dr. Hall grew up on a nursery in Western North Carolina and is a professor in the Department of Horticultural Sciences at Texas A&M University. He is an honorary lifetime member of the Texas Landscape & Nursery Association.
