The economic recession has effected all businesses including the turf industry. It has been a tough couple of years and with bill 64 being passed this year it didn’t make anything easier. It has left more than a few turf managers with a lot of questions. As we all know turf managers in the past have not communicated between each other all that much. In recent years this has changed and we need it to continue to change. Therefore our year 1 turf management students are putting on a symposium with the title Doing More With Less: Turf In Tough Times
This symposium is going to have speakers which are Keith Bartlett the superintendent at royal st. georges , Dr. Tom Hsaing who is a pathology expert at the university and Ron Schiedel co-owner of green horizons sod farms. As you can tell these speakers are industry leaders and will be relating back to the title. The symposium will be taking place on Friday morning November 27, 2009 at the cutten club in Guelph. We have been working hard at getting the word out by making brochures, having a facebook group, writing blogs on it and by making a website. Also after the symposium there will be a lunch with great food.
The symposium will be very informative. We strongly urge turf managers of all kinds to come out as we have speakers from all corners of the industry. It will be a great way to help out turf managers and answer some of the questions they might have. Not only is this a great event for the turf managers but it’s also a great experience for us the students being able to go through the process of something like this on. Hope To See Ya’ll There!!
