@uHallgrass More than just staff shortages. Lightweight to offset traffic, more skilled labor on skilled jobs and free up time for detail work. I think you love it.

Trying out new technology is exciting. With staffing shortages not getting better, we need to look for ways to continue to provide safe and playable athletic fields. Autonomy might just be the answer.

@jvercautren Coupled with what your doing, @prmsoilhealth helped us with black layer, compaction, infiltration & thatch management. Showed roughly 15% improvement last season.

@LTfast @mnulick78 @paulmeadors It would also increase the chances of soft tissue and head injuries. Carpeted fields are unsafe too, slippery when wet. Location selection is important. Weather is unpredictable.

@mnulick78 @paulmeadors While I agree with what you said about the playoff system, it’s a joke. But while you can control the weather they could make sure it’s on a turf field so it’s playable

Shafter coach Pierucci calls out poor field conditions in their CIF state game. Have a look at the conditions.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SATURDAY: An emotional Head Coach Jerald Pierucci (@forceuser64) calls out the @CIFState for poor playing conditions at Orland High School. The Trojans defeated the Generals, 20-7 to claim the Division 5-A crown. @KGETnews @ShafterHigh

@TurfSpartanLord @latsondheimer Imagine if a MLB manager flew a helicopter to Beaver stadium and landed it on the 50 then walked over to the baseball field to watch a pitcher. If you won’t allow it, don’t do it. It’s selfish and tells a lot of his character.
English
@etc_greg @latsondheimer Speaking from personal experience, I’m really hoping the infield wasn’t dressed. If it was that place now has a sweet 1” lip everywhere. 🤨

@francisdmarion @ganobleberries Thanks Dan, great to meet you as well. I’ll send you my tailors number if you want.

@etc_greg was great to meet you yesterday, @ganobleberries thanks for making the connection! Greg I hope you traveled home safe and reconnected with you tailor 😉 Best of luck in 2023 #SharpDressedMan

@CoachTooz Liquid fert apps for the winter and keep it mowed. Let those little poa pratensis plants tiller and grow.

Outfield starting to fill in. Not bad for December.

@DriveTurfCrew @GreenvilleDrive There’s no I in Greg! Congrats, you all have earned it.

@GreenvilleDrive All 3 of these dudes couldnt have achieved the accolades without the team they had. Forever grateful for all those that I’ve got to share the ball field with.

Will the real 🐐 please stand up?!
Congrats to our Head Groundskeeper, Greg Burgess (@DriveTurfCrew) who was named the South Atlantic League’s Head Groundskeeper of the Year this week during the Baseball Winter Meetings - it’s the SIXTH TIME HE’S RECEIVED THE HONOR!

@Grassybrit @OhioTurfgrass Thank you for allowing a former Ohioan a voice. Hope it was informative and also assist of few people looking for creative alternatives for some issues.

@Wetcheme @leanne4thekids @KevinHauschel @GreenSightAg @TurfCloud @Soil_Scout @HusqvarnaUSA @KNBR @QuestnFakeGrass @SHPFC We run ours overnight during irrigation cycles. So far, has not affected mowers. Also, I believe, geese would not like these and stay away from your fields.
English
@etc_greg @leanne4thekids @KevinHauschel @GreenSightAg @TurfCloud @Soil_Scout @HusqvarnaUSA @KNBR @QuestnFakeGrass @SHPFC The groundskeepers are constrained by school hours vs. their work hours to be able to safely mow (in our district at least) and then they don't often mow at ideal blade height etc. So these mowers would save scheduling, time and improve the fields.
English
I can't thank @etc_greg enough for trusting myself and @GreenSightAg to integrate
- Autonomous Drones
- @Turfcloud,
- @Soil_Scout soil sensors
- @HusqvarnaUSA Automowers
Into an already world class operation!! Also thanks @KNBR for spreading the word on what they are doing!!

Like a Roomba for grass. The Giants grounds crew are the first in the MLB using autonomous lawn mowers to keep Oracle Park’s field pristine.

@Spinmartin21 Your not supposed to spray non labeled products on athletic surfaces. It’s not an approved product.
English
When you see black infill on top of the field.. that means you need to spray a static solution like 120 load Downy! Cincinnati vs Kansas City spray your fields like on a Friday so it’s ready for game day. You will notice a huge difference!

@leanne4thekids @Wetcheme @KevinHauschel @GreenSightAg @TurfCloud @Soil_Scout @HusqvarnaUSA @KNBR @QuestnFakeGrass @SHPFC Figuring out ways to manage grass field inexpensively is important for the schools and parks. Mowing grass is one of the most important & expensive maintenance practices. These mowers will create safer surfaces by promoting tillering in the plant & nutrients to the soil.

@etc_greg @Wetcheme @KevinHauschel @GreenSightAg @TurfCloud @Soil_Scout @HusqvarnaUSA @KNBR @QuestnFakeGrass @SHPFC This development further negates the #artificialturf industry’s claims that #plasticgrass is less polluting and lower maintenance compared to grass. What a shame. NOT!
Grass will always be fundamentally better & safer than plastic.

@leanne4thekids @Wetcheme @KevinHauschel @GreenSightAg @TurfCloud @Soil_Scout @HusqvarnaUSA @KNBR @QuestnFakeGrass @SHPFC This is the same mower without the buried line. We use the EPOS satellite link. This past week we brought the larger Ceora to compare the 2

@Wetcheme @KevinHauschel @etc_greg @GreenSightAg @TurfCloud @Soil_Scout @HusqvarnaUSA @KNBR @QuestnFakeGrass @SHPFC I don’t see a link. You mean this?
I wonder how this is different from the Husqvana 550? Or is it the same thing?
