| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Green Works, Inc., in Pocatello, Idaho, and company owners Paul and Jeannie Neibaur. States that the company "started out with four acres of sod in 1977 when it sold for 10-12 cents per square foot...[and the farm grew to] 160 acres of sod and...prices range from 17 to 40 cents per square foot." Explains that "growing sod is no easy task. There are essential processes that go into growing a healthy, fine-looking field of sod. Expert knowledge in planting, fertilizing, watering and mowing are critical. Paul has developed specific methods for their growing region and soil type." Announces Green Works, Inc. as the recipient of The Idaho Nursery and Landscape Association award for the best recreational or sports project for 2003. Explains that "the award recognizes companies who take pride in consistently maintaining above average workmanship and materials." |
