The 2010 NCSU Turfgrass Field Day is being held at the Sandhills Research Station in Jackson Springs, North Carolina on Wednesday August 11th. The Turfgrass Field Day at the Sandhills Research Station is only offered EVERY OTHER YEAR and offers the industry and general public a chance to view the NCSU Turfgrass Program’s ongoing research trials at this unique site.
Attendees will see research plots and speak directly with NCSU’s faculty and staff. Each session offers the researcher’s insight and findings for current turfgrass demands and on-going studies. Topics are inclusive of the NCSU research program covering IPM, cultural practices, irrigation technologies, disease, insect, and weed control, and more. For more information on Field Day click here.

We are also having Dr. Art Bruneau Golf Tournament Fundraiser at the Lonnie Poole Golf Course on Tuesday August 10,2010. Proceeds of these events will benefit turfgrass research through the NC Agricultural Foundation. If you are one of the many extension specialists, students, faculty or turf professionals that Art has touched over the years, please take this opportunity to visit with him at field day, play the new golf course, eat, and help us raise funds for scholarships and research.
