The University of Arkansas is happy to be hosting our first in-person Turfgrass Field Day in 4 years (see attachment)!! The event will be on August 1, 2023 at the Fayetteville Research Station. We have really appreciated your chapter's support of our program and would love for some of you to join us. We have two exciting new faculty members, Wendell Hutchens and Hannah Smith, some great graduate students, and lots of cool information to share. In addition, John Reilly (@turfmonkeyboy) from Longboat Key Club and John Rowland (@1Rowland1) from the USGA will also be guest speakers discussing and demonstrating new technologies being tested by the USGA.
GCSAA points will be available for attendees and Arkansas pesticide recertification will also be available. We will also work with any out-of-state guests to get you appropriate credits / CEUs for your state pesticide license.
