Ep 72 - De Bizzell - Building Better Fields and a Better Sikeston

Send us Fan MailA perfect football field does not happen by accident, and it definitely does not happen on a tight deadline after a tornado. We sit down with De Bizzell of Green Grass Guys to get the real behind-the-scenes story of how Sikeston’s athletic fields are built, repaired, and kept game-ready when the weather, the calendar, and traffic all work against you.De takes us through his third-generation business background, why he and his wife chose to move back to Sikeston, and what it looks like to modernise a long-running local company without losing its soul. We talk turf management at a level most fans never hear: compaction, drainage, crowns, aeration, topdressing, route density, and the tech that makes it measurable, including scouting tools that reveal moisture and growth patterns beyond what your eyes can catch.Then we zoom out from grass to community leadership. De shares what pushed him to run for Sikeston City Council, why economic development and making it easy for businesses to grow matters, and how small wins add up when a town decides to pull together. If you’re into lawn care tips, athletic field maintenance, small-town Missouri success stories, or practical civic leadership, this one delivers.Subscribe, leave a review, and share the show with a friend who cares about Sikeston and Bulldog pride. 👉 Subscribe, rate, and share The Doghouse — your home for Sikeston Bulldogs and everything Sikeston.🎧 Listen: Apple | Spotify | Amazon Music | Buzzsprout | iHeartRadio🌐 Visit: thedoghouse.buzzsprout.com📱 Follow: Facebook | Instagram | TikTok | YouTube ✉️ Contact: [email protected]
