By the time this publication gets to your mailbox, baseball will be back in full swing, golfers will be crowding the first tee boxes early in the morning, lawns will be growing, most of us will have out pre-emergent herbicides and everyone outside during any given day will recognize that distinctive smell of freshly cut grass. Springtime is finally here and with many of us either starting to be vaccinated or already completed, we can only be hopeful for the upcoming growing season.

Coming up soon, The Maryland Turfgrass Council is offering the annual Procrastinators Re-Certification class on June 18, which will be conducted virtually. This is the last event offered by the MTC before your Maryland Pesticides and Professional Fertilizer licenses expire on June 30, 2021. Take advantage of the virtual classes while you can.

On December 14th, 2021, The Maryland Turfgrass Council is scheduled to be back at Turf Valley Resort and Conference Center for the annual Maryland Turfgrass Conference. We will be keeping track of any COVID-19 restrictions way ahead of time.

Do you have anything special coming up this year that you would like to share with your fellow turf professionals? Share it with us. The Maryland Turfgrass Council and the Board of Directors are here for you, and we want to continually hear what you are seeing in the field, events that are coming up, and even turf issues that affect you.

We hope that you enjoy this issue of MTC News, and we value your continued support. Let’s stay connected and get this season off to a good strong beginning.

Ben Ellis

Maryland Turfgrass Council, President
