All he really wanted to see was our soccer field. And he really liked seeing our lawns. I mentioned turfgrass as a major and he lit up. Just found out he's been admitted to our program. 1141

John Kaminski @johnkaminski.me · 05/12/2024Interesting consensus with the panel that they’re not pulling cores at all. Seems to be the trend moving forward with supers in this area (and probably others). Using GDD models and growth potential for many decisions. #data #turfsky #Canada 171
