About us
We are a national non-profit organization seeking to aid turfgrass managers and grass growers by providing holistic guidelines that account for all factors in sustainable plant growth. The members are comprised of universities and industry companies serving to test, identify, and promote grass varieties that combine high turf quality and low-input performance; such as reduced water, chemical, and fertility. We provide information on certified, high quality turf that is verified via transparent protocols and independently tested at leading regional universities.

It's time to beat the heat and rout the drought with A-LIST Turf approved #genetics!! Many places across the U.S. are currently in 'Abnormally Dry' conditions. A-LIST Turf tests our #turfgrass varieties for both heat and drought tolerance to promote #sustainable and #lowinput management! Consider our varieties for future droughts to best steward water use and a healthy #turfgrass stand! Link to our approved #genetics: https://lnkd.in/grM2mWJa

Here is a crop update from our member Mountain View Seeds, but it also generally reflects conditions for several growers from other member companies (DLF - Barenbrug USA - Landmark Seed Co - Lebanon Turf Products)! Seed producers and growers evaluate the information that is used to summarize these reports that forecast upcoming yields for each species for production preparation. This also shows the breadth of locations used for best optimizing growing conditions for each species of #turfgrass! #lowinput #sustainability #cropupdate #industry #seed #production
MVS Crop Update May 2024: Willamette Valley, OR: Grass seed crops are doing well with favorable conditions. Some impact on Fine Fescue from last year's dry spring on first year stands. Bentgrass rebounded from tough conditions in 2023. Perennial ryegrass and Tall Fescue acres were reduced. Average yields are expected, weather permitting. Columbia Basin: Despite reduced grass seed acres, fields are progressing well. Minnesota: Perennial ryegrass is recovering better than expected from a harsh winter, however, with 20% acreage loss, seed yields remain uncertain. Canada: Manitoba crops are fairing well. Alberta faces drought threats that may impact creeping red fescue availability. Tall fescue and perennial ryegrass acreage remain stable. #turfgrass #forage #harvest #seeds #MountainViewSeeds #webelieveinbetter

Our Executive Director, Kyley Dickson, Ph.D., joined some of the Landmark Seed Co team, John E. Brader, Ben Boehme, Jake Metzger, and Wayne Horman, while touring plots at the Rutgers University turfgrass #research farms with Stacy Bonos to evaluate current and potential new #turfgrass #genetics! It's always a great time catching up with this group and looking at what could be the future for #sustainable turfgrass varieties! #lowinput #turfgrass #sustainability

Last week at the Rutgers University Golf Classic hosted at the Fiddler's Elbow, A-LIST Turf was proud to be able to sponsor the grand reception dinner for this event! Great food and golf all around, but most important was the funds and support raised for the Rutgers University #turfgrass researchers to continue pushing the turfgrass industry forward! We would like to specifically thank Stacy Bonos and her group for all the work she does to push #sustainability in this industry through #turfgrass breeding!

Kudos to the American Golf Industry Coalition for hosting #NationalGolfDay on Capitol Hill. There are so many positive stories to tell about the sport’s economic, societal and charitable impact. Here’s one from DLF's Technical Agronomist and Pro Account Manager, Mike Hills, about the impact of golf in his home state of Arizona. ⛳ GCSAA A-LIST Turf United States Golf Association (USGA)

It's amazing to see A-LIST Turf approved varieties at such a stage as the Kentucky Derby on the Churchill Downs grass track! Tune in to watch the derby races this weekend! To learn more about A-LIST Turf approved turfgrass varieties and where you can find them visit here: https://lnkd.in/grM2mWJa #turfgrass #sustainability #lowinput #KyDerby #racing
Plenty of #horsepower went into preparing the Churchill Downs Racetrack turf track over the last several months. It has a blend of Mountain View Seeds #365ss Kentucky bluegrass and #Optimum Tall fescue! Now it is time for the horses to run the 150th annual Kentucky Derby!!! Grab your pompous hat, mint julep, and a dozen roses, then sit back and enjoy the races, including the Old Forester Bourbon Turf Classic on Saturday! 🏇🌹 #KyDerby #turfgrass #ChurchillDowns #webelieveinbetter

Cooperator Spotlight Series - Dan Sandor, Ph.D. At A-LIST Turf, we work with and rely on university cooperators to test varieties for approval. Dr. Dan Sandor at Virginia Tech is one of our current 12 cooperators conducting #research on #turfgrass #genetics for our #sustainability initiatives in Blacksburg, Virginia! Sandor's research program focuses on best practices for lawn care, including turfgrass selection and water conservation, alongside researching consumer attitudes towards lawns and socioeconomic factors affecting community greenspaces. We thank Professor Dan Sandor for his key research and collaboration efforts with A-LIST Turf! #turfgrass #spotlight #sustainability
