I believe he did mention orchard. After my father retired he worked one summer for the village of Edgerton, Ohio. It is a very small community, but has a very large park with 100 acres to mow. He and just one other man mowed all of it. They were using Exmarks with 6' decks. That particular summer it rained, rained, rained. They were force to mow wet grass sometimes. It was more that a 40 hour work week to keep up with it. My father's back began to hurt from the ride. He stopped after that summer.
