Thank you to all who came out to our 2025 WinterTurf Field Day at the University of Minnesota on April 15! Several WinterTurf researchers from around the country talked about aspects of our project (Figure 1). If you weren’t able to make it, or are looking for more information on some of the research topics we discussed, review the agenda, with links to additional information, below.
