A day on a Deep Run farm or service route
The operations out here are row crop, hog and poultry houses, and the businesses that keep them running — equipment repair, feed hauling, well and irrigation work, electrical. The owner is usually also the technician. He is in a field, in a house, or under a machine, and the phone is in the truck across the yard. Nothing about that is going to change, and an audit that opens by asking a Deep Run operator to work differently is wasted before it starts. So we map where the day leaks instead: the voicemail returned at nine at night, the quote written twice because the first version got left in the truck, the invoice that goes out a week late because there was never a quiet hour to send it. Those three leaks are where the recoverable time actually sits.
