President’s Message

Spread the Word

On behalf of the MTC, we would like to thank everyone who attended our Annual Conference at Turf Valley this year. We would also like to thank our sponsors and vendors for their continued support. Without you all, it would not have been as successful as it was. Yes, we need to work out a few kinks, but this year we had a great turnout. This event will only get better moving forward.

I hope everyone is enjoying this mild winter, as of this writing at the end of January, I’m holding out hope for a mild February as well. This would put us all in good shape as move closer to the opening of our spring seasons.

This year we saw an increase in memberships with MTC. We encourage you to spread the word for others like you to join us in this ever-evolving industry. The more members we have, the stronger our industry will be. As I spoke about at the conference, there has been a real struggle for all of us to hire and find good employees these days within our industry, especially with the next generation coming into the workforce. If we join together as a team, I believe we can bring agriculture, landscaping, turf management, and lawn care back to the great industry this state has relied upon for hundreds of years.

As always, please look for more educational training, re-certification classes, field days, and any other opportunities for networking this upcoming year. I look forward to seeing you at some of these events.

Best regards, and let’s keep growing together.

Your President,

Brandon Sands
