Dr. Becky Bowling (left) is the Extension Specialist in the Plant Science Department at the University of Tennessee. Her research and extension efforts have focused on evaluating and communicating best management practices for turfgrass to promote environmental stewardship and resource-use efficiency in turfgrass systems and related urban green spaces with an emphasis on water efficiency, water capture, and water quality protection.
Dr. Wendell Hutchens (left) is an assistant professor of turfgrass science in the Horticulture Department at the University of Arkansas. His main areas of expertise are turfgrass pathology, precision management of turfgrass pests using emerging technologies, and winterkill mitigation strategies in warm-season turfgrasses. His research program is centered around maintaining healthy turfgrass and combating turfgrass stressors with traditional cultural and chemical practices, as well as with cutting-edge new technology.
Dr. Fred Whitford (left) is the Clinical Engagement Professor and Director, Pesticide Programs at Purdue University. His focus is on extension outreach, pesticide safety education, pesticide registration and regulation, insurance, and environmental safety audits.

The 74th Annual Kansas Turf & Landscape Conference will be held on December 4 & 5 (Wednesday and Thursday) at the Hilton Garden Inn, Manhattan. The conference is an excellent way to learn about turf and landscape management, visit with old friends, network with new ones, and see all the latest products and supplies from local and national vendors.
