BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (January 2004) How would you like to have your own personal agronomist? Visit www.torosports.com to complete a brief survey about your needs and you'll be registered to win a consultation from Toro, with Van Cline, Ph.D., specifically about your sports field.

"The whole turf system is remarkably complex," said Dr. Cline, Toro's agronomist and turf research manager. "Every component is an important piece of the puzzle. Everything must work together to achieve healthy turf for an esthetically beautiful and safe sports field."

Dr. Cline will learn the background and history of your turf with an emphasis on:

• Soil conditions
• Species mix
• Drainage
• Management practices including:
• Mowing
• Fertilization
• Irrigation
• Aeration

Then, when your schedules allow, Dr. Cline will visit and look over your sports field in person, talk over turf problems and concerns, and provide suggestions for improvements.

Complete the survey at the Toro booth at the STMA Trade Show in San Diego, CA on January 22nd and 23rd, or online through January 31, 2004. The winner will be announced about February 6, 2004.
