"Most importantly, our team accomplished this work safely and under mandated COVID-19 safety guidelines and procedures, including social distancing." said Mark McDonald Intrepid's Vice President of Sales. "With cooperative weather for most of the spring, we saw customers move their purchases into earlier in the season and our team was up to the challenge.

We are grateful and fortunate to be able to keep our workforce employed during this uncertain time."
