Power, Efficiency, Comfort

Spotlight on mower innovations that matter

By Rick Cuddihe and Ron Hall
  Avoid the logic that there's nothing new on the market and that the type or brand of mower that has worked in the past remains best for your operation. You can't stand still when it comes to mowing or you'll get run over. In these times you must find ways to mow more property in less time, and safely, too. Don't forget quality of cut, either, as it remains critically important in customer retention. Manufacturers realize this as well and are responding. "Customers are looking for ways to reduce or eliminate turf damage, compaction, scalping," says Isaac Roth of Ventrac Products.

Cover Story: Extreme Weather 101

Even the most experienced superintendents learned from one of the most wicked weather years ever in golf course maintenance

By Larry Aylward
  While taking shelter in the clubhouse basement at the Cimarron National Golf Club, Gene O'Brien could hear the harrowing tornado outside as it rumbled through the neighborhood like a Norfolk Southern freight train. But O'Brien, Cimarron's golf course superintendent, had no idea of the destruction the tornado was causing to the golf club and the surrounding area.
  When the ferocious wind stopped blowing and O'Brien and others ventured outside, they saw a tree lying on the ground near the course's 10th tee. When O'Brien scanned the area some more, he saw downed trees ... (Read More...)

Industry Advancements: Infield Soils and Solutions

By Suz Trusty
  "It's derived by dividing the percentage of silt by the percentage of clay in a soil sample. The SCR score indicates the relative performance of an infield soil product. The optimum SCR score for playability is 0.5 to 1," he explains.
  Most suppliers of infield materials note that research and development is ongoing, seeking products that will make the field manager's job easier in areas such as reduced maintenance, enhanced safety and playability, better aesthetics and fewer weather-related issues. They're analyzing scientific data in areas like sand and silt sizing ... (Read More...)

Tools & Techniques: Crane Use for Tree Operations

By Michael Tain
  Cranes are becoming an almost commonplace sight on tree care work sites, particularly given the wide variety of shapes, sizes and configurations that are available. While a crane can make tree work safer and more efficient, these valuable tools do require some thought, knowledge and training to use safely and correctly. This column is not meant to be the "be-all and end-all" of crane use in tree work, as that would require a book's worth of diagrams, instructions, pictures, tables and charts, and probably even a DVD. Rather it's meant to introduce some of the basic concepts, principles ... (Read More...)

Taking a Bite Out of Theft

Steps you can take to protect your equipment

By Patrick White
  When John Klevanosky came to work at JK Landscapes in Naples, Fla., one morning last April, everything looked normal. "The gate was closed and the lock was on it," he recalls. But soon his employees came running to report that the company had been robbed. Missing were blowers, trimmers, chain saws, hedge trimmers and other hand-held tools with an estimated value of several thousand dollars.
  Klevanosky says the thieves knew exactly what they were looking for. "We had mowers out there and the keys were in them, but they didn't touch those. They wanted the hand-held stuff ... (Read More...)

Cheesemaking Considerations

What to look at when sourcing milk

By Patrick White
  Look on any cheese label, and you'll see that the first ingredient is milk. Milk is the absolute foundation of cheese. So, it's no surprise that most cheese makers are pretty particular about their milk. While many farmstead cheese makers work only with milk from their own farms, there are many who search for sources of quality milk, and they're often willing to pay a little more to get what they want. This opens up an opportunity for dairy farmers to provide milk to these cheese makers. (This article relates to cheese made from cow milk, but the same criteria likely applies to goat ...

All Hands on Deck

A look at seasonal labor options

By Dorothy Noble
  Last season's ugly scenes of unharvested crops rotting in fields and trees due to a lack of available labor has highlighted the need all over the country for growers to be able to access a reliable, legal and stable workforce. Georgia growers alone estimate a $140 million loss because of the labor shortage during the 2011 spring and summer harvests.
  Although farm labor has been tightening for at least several years, grower after grower has lamented the impact the H-2A program and various E-Verify programs have had on production this past season.

Putting Down Roots

Laying the foundation for a successful business growing native plants, Connor Shaw concentrates on developing strong, healthy root systems.

By Sally Benson
  It's said that 90 percent of an iceberg lies below the surface. While what we can see may be awe-inspiring, it wouldn't exist without the foundation that supports it. Strength and stability - a firm and nurturing foundation - are what make that massive chunk of ice so impressive.
  The same can be said of plants. The most breathtakingly beautiful, vital plant would be nothing without the foundation of a healthy, supportive root system. Strong, sturdy stems, lush foliage and rich blooms? They owe everything to the structure beneath the soil.
  No one knows ... (Read More...)
