K-State’s Turf and Ornamentals Field Day is happening! It will be held at the Rocky Ford Turfgrass Research Center, 1700 Barnes Road, on Thursday, August 5th. Due to the pandemic (which is receding for now!), we will have a change of structure for our tour of research plots and conversations with faculty and graduate students. Please note that the format and guidelines are subject to further change or cancellation, based on KSU and state/local health policies.
- Online advanced registration is strongly recommended. REGISTER ONLINE HERE
- Details on program and “fillable” registration form (if you don’t want to register “online”) available HERE
- Parking at Faith E Free Church – 1921 Barnes Road, Manhattan, KS.
- There will be no formal welcoming session this year. Tours will leave from the registration area about every 15 minutes beginning at 8:30 a.m. and running until 10 a.m.
- Vendors will be present from 8 a.m. until about 1 p.m. If you’re a vendor with interest in attending or sponsoring lunch or a “recorded video,” check HERE
- You can arrive anytime between about 8:15 am (or earlier) and 9:45 am to join one of the tours.
- Eight stops with different presenters, each running about 15 minutes.
- No donuts or coffee will be provided, but a boxed lunch will be available when your plot tour finishes. Take your boxed lunch and find your own space to eat – there will be some chairs spaced out in shaded areas. Or, feel to take it “to go.”
We hope to see you on Thursday, August 5!
