Getting Good Soil Test Results
by Don Dale

For some idea of the complexity, and importance, of the soil test in relation to turf health, talk to a soil scientist or a test laboratory manager. The whole process begins to take on the air of a bizarre nightmare of complexity and, to some degree, chance, especially if the test is not interpreted properly. It can also exist, in the hands of some, solely as a means of selling products. (continue)

Pest Problems
by Anne Morris

Turf wars heat up in summer when superintendents face armies of troublesome insect pests. Some, such as adult june bugs, ants and mosquitoes, call attention to themselves. Other insects may stay quiet, concealed subsurface while they attack turf. Here's a look at common summer pests and some controls that have been successfully used against them on golf courses.
Dr. David Shetlar, turfgrass entomologist at Ohio State University, says, “Most of the Phyllophaga [May beetles and June beetles] fly in early May and early June, so their flights are officially over by the official start of summer [about June 20].” (continue)

Working with Water Restrictions
by Suz Trusty

It’s a simple concept. Water is essential for plant growth. Turfgrasses are plants. Turfgrasses provide the playing surface on the majority of sports fields. Turfgrasses on sports fields need water. Try selling that concept to governmental agencies when water supplies are short and water use restrictions kick in and you may find, as many sports field managers have, that your fields are not included among the group of "necessary users."

Farming After Fire
by Kathleen Hatt

The night of July 30, 2007, fire destroyed the barn at Dave and Jody Horan’s East Thetford, Vt., farm. In a matter of minutes, the 1800s converted dairy barn was gone. Firefighters from eight Vermont and New Hampshire fire departments fought the predawn blaze of unknown origin. The farm’s 70 registered Polled Herefords were safe in pastures more than a quarter-mile away, but much of their October to May feed—4,000 square bales of hay stored in and near the barn—burned.

End to End Milling
by Wesley Peterson

When Dennis Bush purchased a used portable sawmill and began to cut custom lumber some two decades ago, he would have been completely surprised had someone told him where the new adventure would take him. Responding to customer demand and a desire to utilize all grades of lumber, a permanent building, a vacuum kiln and a five-spindle moulder were added over the years as the company evolved into a full-time business.
