Hey all you turf heads -

Look, we know you already spend a borderline unhealthy amount of time thinking about grass. But this is your absolute final warning to register for the OSU Turfgrass Research Field Day on Tuesday, August 4, 2026.

*Registration will close on Friday, July 31st at 12pm.*

Get off your own turf for a day and head over to the OTF Research & Education Facility (2710 N Star Road, Columbus, OH 43221). You’ll get exclusive access to agronomic breakthroughs, tours of our living laboratories, and the chance to learn directly from OSU faculty.

Pick your poison: the dedicated Golf Track or the High-Cut Turf Track.

But let's be honest, you're also here for the toys.

From 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM, we’re busting out the heavy metal at the Trade Show and Equipment Expo. Come check out the newest tech before your competitors do. Here’s the lineup of exhibitors bringing the heat this year:
