Quote of the Month
My dad always taught me these words: care and share. That's why we put on these clinics. The only thing I can do is try to give back. If it works, it works.

Turfgrass Building Fund
The turfgrass research facility at the South Farm is in need of a facelift. Recently, we started raising money for the new turfgrass research building. The new building will be a state-of-the-art turfgrass teaching and research facility that will include a library, offices, conference rooms, diagnostics wet labs, and greenhouse. The building will be used by students, golf course superintendents, sports field managers, lawn care operators, master gardner, and homeowners for educational programs. The total cost of the building is projected to be $550,000. We are well on our way and there are additional naming opportunities for your donation. For more information contact Brad Fresenburg at (573) 442-4893 or Heidi Griswold at (573) 884-0635.
