Turf and Landscape Field Day on July 14, 2015

On Tuesday, July 14, 2015 the Purdue Turf Program and the Midwest Regional Turf Foundation will host the Turf and Landscape Field Day. The Turf and Landscape Field Day is Indiana’s largest green industry field day. This will be the third year with landscape research tours added. Specialists from four different departments in the College of Agriculture will share their findings and recommendations to Green Industry professionals. We invite you to join us. Attendees will receive education (with CCHs in categories 2, 3a, 3b, 6, 7a, and RT), listen to research updates, receive product updates from exhibitors, and also network with others in the Green Industry.

The field day will feature about 40 exhibitors representing companies from around the region ranging the gamut from equipment, seed, fertilizers, pesticides, landscape plants, hardscape and more. Last year approximately 525 attendees from Indiana and all its surrounding states attended to learn more about Purdue’s latest green industry research. Attendees came from a variety of backgrounds including business owners, managers and staff of wholesale and retail nurseries, landscape management firms, greenhouse growers, golf course superintendents and staff, lawn care companies, grounds maintenance departments, landscape design and installation firms, garden centers, consulting firms, educational institutions, suppliers and more!

This year’s field day will have three morning research tours and four afternoon tours including a field trip to Purdue Horticulture Research Farm. A spanish speaking sessoin will also be included in the field day this year. We will have sixteen different speakers at the field day including Purdue faculty/staff from Botany and Plant Pathology, Entomology, Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, and Forestry and Natural Resources.

MRTF Green Award Winners Announced!


Winners of the first ever Midwest Regional Turf Foundation (MRTF) Green Awards were announced just a few weeks ago at the Indiana Green Expo in Indianapolis during the MRTF Distinguished Service Award Reception. The purpose of this award is to recognize MRTF member facilities that show outstanding environmental stewardship, who implement the highest standard of management practices and who continue to improve the quality of the Turf Industry.

We were privileged to get an in depth look at several excellent member facilities. The Green Award applications were submitted for consideration to the MRTF Green Awards Committee. Although several of these were quite impressive, only two emerged as winners in their particular industry category:
  • Golf division - Victoria National Golf Club, of Newburgh, IN
  • Athletic Field division – Warrior Park, Covenant Christian High School of Indianapolis, IN
These awards were given in recognition of outstanding environmental stewardship efforts and commitment to advancing the turf industry. As promised the winning submissions can be found on our website, https://www.mrtf.org/mrtf-green-award.html 

The submission webpage for the second annual Green Awards will be open soon to accept 2014 applicants in the golf, lawn care, and athletic field divisions. Next year at this time it could be your facility that is being honored.


The Midwest Regional Turf Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 foundation that supports turfgrass research and education at Purdue University for the betterment of the turf industry.
