Recent Event
NESTMA was well represented at the UMass Turf Program’s Field Day on July 19 in South Deerfield, MA. Chris McGinty, President; Art Goodhind, Vice President; Andrew Carlisle, CGM, Treasurer; and many more members were on hand to support the program and let turf professionals know about the value of NESTMA membership.
The weather was spectacular as participants took guided tours of research projects in the field. A wide range of topics were covered including Turfgrass Selection for Better Winter Survival, Biology and Management of Pythium, Fungicide Combinations for Dollar Spot Control, and much more. UMass faculty were out in force answering questions; industry suppliers demonstrated the latest equipment; and turf professionals took advantage of the opportunity to network on a beautiful day. Thanks to the UMass Turf Program faculty for their hard work and ongoing research contributions to our industry.
NESTMA on the Road
Many thanks to member volunteers who have tended the NESTMA table at many industry events this summer including VRPA Maintenance Workshop, UMass Turf Field Day, NEPA Summer Meeting, and CRPA Summer Meeting. We’ve enjoyed seeing our members, meeting prospective members, and supporting the sports turf industry in New England. •
