Football season always reminds us that natural grass fields are the safest playing surface.

This starts at the local level! Encourage your schools and local recreation departments to continue the use of natural grass or make the switch.

DLF acquires Corteva's alfalfa program: Once the business is fully transitioned after the 2024 season, DLF will offer varieties similar to today’s Pioneer and Dairyland Seed branded alfalfa products. https://t.co/3E1MxJ5xzY

The key to sustainability in turfgrass is identifying cultivars that excel not only in their use but also in seed production. Leah Brilman of @DLFUSA explains how something called the A-LIST enables this. https://t.co/5VoawuFnk8

It's no surprise that NFL players are unhappy after many week-one injuries on plastic. They are again pleading with the NFL to switch to natural grass at all stadiums.

And what a successful partnership it has been! I am honored to have been included in on the ride, with the best in the business. #SuperBents

[Richard Hurley, PhD @bentgrassdoctor]

It's about trust! For my Rutgers bents I had the opportunity to sign production/marketing agreements with any company, my choice. I selected SRO/DLF brand, the highest quality seed production. This also allowed me to be associated with the well respected Dr. Leah Brilman.

Hudson National, NY seven day old 007XL green seeding to match 007XL fairways and approaches. Great job Brett!

[DLF USA @DLFUSA]

Must read article on the global importance of DLF's research station in Bangor, WI. "Due to the cold winters, plant breeders throughout Europe have begun to send some of their germplasm for evaluation in winterhardiness and persistence."

Observing new Seed Enhancement trials at customers facilities, where trial results really separate. Great to have the best partners and friends in the world. #dlfusa

[Mike Billman @mbillman_DLFPS]

What a beautiful course! The Revolution continues to gain momentum.

[Scott DeBolt @SDeBolt_DLFPS]

Took a tour at The Inn at St John’s with @KevinPPeck and the place looks amazing. Kevin and crew are dialing in the 007XL greens, Dominator tees and fairways. DLF roughs and outer roughs are doing well. Add another member to the SuperBents Revolution #DLF #SeedResearch
