| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles Kingston Turf Farms in West Kingston, Rhode Island; Graff's Turf Farms in Ft. Morgan, Colorado; and Southern Turf Nurseries in Elberta, Alabama. Describes the maintenance practices and harvesting methods of each sod farm. Mentions that sometimes fields fail in different climatic conditions, and states that sod producers "hope that the professional sports industry will take another look at natural grass, find there are fields that do not fail and keep it surviving as the playing surface for multiuse stadiums." |
