Iowa farmer Mark Kuhn built a full-size replica of Wimbledon’s grass tennis court near Charles City for tennis players to reserve and play; he maintains the court like a golf green by mowing it every morning—he will also serve as a volunteer court attendant at Wimbledon when the event takes place. Kuhn said his passion for tennis keeps the court in top shape even as his crops finish growing.
