The clock is ticking.

The Ohio State University Turfgrass Field Day on Tuesday, August 5th, is your last, best chance this season to get a firsthand look at the cutting-edge research that will define the future of turf management. This isn't just another industry event; it's a critical look into the future of turfgrass management, straight from the source.

• Direct Access to OSU Researchers: Get your toughest questions answered directly by the OSU Turfgrass Team. With the event only one week away, this is your best opportunity all year for one-on-one conversations with the researchers developing tomorrow's solutions.

• Witness Groundbreaking Science: Walk the research plots to see active trials on pest management, autonomous mowers, and fertilization. You won't just see the results; you'll understand the science behind them, giving you a distinct advantage in the field.

• Earn Continuing Education Credits: Stay current with your certification. We have requested 1.5 hours of ODA continuing education credits.

• Tailor Your Learning: Choose between the dedicated Golf Track or the High-Cut Turf Track to ensure the information and presentations you see are directly applicable to your specific challenges and operations.

• Connect with Industry Leaders: Network with peers and explore the latest tools and technology from leading suppliers at the dedicated Exhibitor Showcase.

Don’t wait. Lunch is only guaranteed for those who pre-register, and on-site registration costs more. Secure your spot today to ensure you are equipped with the latest science, not last year's solutions.
