| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses business prospects for sod growers in 2007, stating that "the forces driving sales in sod production are environmental concerns and cost savings." States that "many courses are seeking faster putting surfaces and are making plans for turf such as L-93 and the Penn varieties of bentgrass." Discusses "speeding up the [sod] harvest time, [which] would result in a 40 percent rise in turf crop value." Concludes that "forward planning, reducing operating costs, streamlining operations, purchasing labor-saving equipment and reviewing existing markets...are some of the necessities that go hand in hand with operating a successful business in good times and especially in lean times." |
