We are tickled pink to (officially) announce that Moe Robinson (@turfmow) is joining the TurfNet team on a p/t contract basis to add her energy, enthusiasm and experience as on-camera host of various podcasts, presentations and webinars... and probably a bunch of stuff we haven't thought of yet. We are pumped! #newera @TurfgrassZealot

@Baroness_USA @DavcoTurf What used to take 13 guys with shovels & plug pushers now only requires 5. Redirect labor to accomplish more in the same time period. Find a way to acquire these units. Your staff will appreciate it! #noshovelrequired
Is there a 16” sod cutter available? We have the Ryan 18” sod cutter but it’s 2” wider than sod coming in from sod farm. Thank you – at Palm Beach Gardens, FL
