INDUSTRY by 2030. That is a 15 percent increase in our population over the next eleven years. This presents opportunities and challenges for the green industry. While some of these new residents will choose to live in multifamily buildings and not have a lawn, they will still have a desire for grassed areas in green spaces, golf courses, athletic fields, dog parks, etc. Many of these new residents will live in single-family homes with lawns. Indicators are that greater sod volume will be necessary over the next decade.

Summary 2019 will be a third consecutive year of steady sod prices. Similarly, inventory for all warmseason species is expected to meet market demand during the first part of 2019. Fuel prices are rising; this could put pressure on costs of production and delivery, altering the expectation of consistent sod prices throughout 2019. About the author
