It was a great (and very busy) day at the Wisconsin FFA Convention. @djsoldat joined the booth and talked with a bunch of kids about education and careers in golf course maintenance.

What a great group of kids that we had from the @FirstTee program for the @TheFirstGreen event at the OJ Noer Turfgrass Research Facility! They learned about turf, soils, pests, & equipment. Thanks to @plkoch2, @djsoldat, @kurtaculous, @dwmarach, and PJ Liesch for helping out.

Celebrating 100 years of Milorganite wouldn’t be complete without a shoutout to “Mr. Turf” himself, O.J. Noer 🌱 His work helped prove what great turf can really look like—and set the standard for lawns ever since. Here’s to the legacy behind the green 💚 #Milorganite100 milorganite.com/blog/milorga…

For the 3rd year, the WGCSA co-ran the @wisconsin_ffa Career Development Event with our friends @TheBruceCompany. We had nearly 50 students participating who, as part of the curriculum, studied our state BMP manual. Hopefully, we see 1 or 2 of these kids joining our industry!

2000s Throwback: The Bethpage Project started as an idea for campus turf trials. But the USGA pushed to take science onto the course—turning Bethpage into “living laboratories” for stewardship in action. Director Dave Catalano and Andrew Wilson opened the doors to researchers and the partnership has shaped turf science ever since. #ResearchAtTheRyder #Bethpage #NYStateParkgolf
