WCTA 2012 Turfgrass Research Update
“The moment one gives close attention to anything, even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.” — Henry Miller
from Jerry Rousseau
Over the last few years, we’ve opted out of printing a separate turfgrass research report realizing a savings of close to $15,000 in that time. It’s a smart move by the Board as we’ve seen a decline in dollars earmarked for research and it’s provided some time to figure out a new approach toward sourcing additional funding.
