KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY'S ANNUAL TURFGRASS FIELD DAY GOES ONLINE
On Thursday morning, August 2, KSU Turfgrass Research and Extension used Facebook Live to give a brief 20-minute video tour of their annual turfgrass field day event at the Rocky Ford Research Center in Manhattan, Kansas. The video was hosted by Dr. Cheryl Boyer, an associate professor in KSU’s turfgrass and ornamental department. Dr. Boyer gave viewers a nice visual introduction to the research facility and included a broadcast of Dr. Jared Hoyle’s introduction of the day. The Facebook Live event is a great way to generate publicity for the field day and also for KSU’s turfgrass research program. Many universities are using various social media platforms to spread the word about their research and the importance of natural turfgrass and various industry initiatives!
