Abstract/Contents: | Reports that the Illinois Turfgrass Foundation (ITF) has taken the initiative to re-associate itself with allied associations and universities in 2012. Notes that the president of the ITF has asked advisors of various groups within the Illinois turfgrass community to share "interesting facts, in their own words, about their programs to help us have a better understanding of who they are and why their program is important to our state and Foundation." Includes a story from Ken Diesburg of Southern Illinois University (SIU). Describes his experience as a turfgrass professor and his relationship with the ITF. Mentions that in 2007, the ITF had cut funding for his program, which left Diesburg devastated "both instantly in my mind and heart, and later in my struggle to keep my turf research trials at a reasonable level." Describes the impact of the SIU Turf program, naming it the "dominant turf-teaching program in the state. |
