Abstract/Contents: | This presentation looked at the past, present and future of the turf industry. Since World War II, the turf industry has expanded rapidly due to urbanization of our society, increased amounts of leisure time, greater discretionary income, a greater desire for positive surroundings and a population increase. These all have increased the amount of "turf consumption." Turf functions examined included recreational, aesthetic, environmental effects, and its development as a large economic force through maintenance, manufacturing, service and research-education industries. Looking to the future, the turf industry will be composed of heavily used facilities; it will be experiencing rapid technological changes and less natural resources and personnel will be available, driving up the cost. Continuing education for turf managers was also said to be important. |
