Agronomy is a very broad field of science and has many applications. An agronomist can be someone studying farming, horticulture, soil sciences, etc. At Sprinturf, we have several degreed agronomists on staff, who specialize in Turf Grass Management. They have spent several years perfecting their craft managing the complexities of golf course management - keeping them green, consistent and dry. Once they were introduced to synthetic turf however, they quickly realized the bright future of this explosive industry. While they had to leave some of their education behind (synthetic surfaces don't need mowing and fertilizing!) they still use much of what they learned to consult with clients on important issues such as drainage and storm water management-two critical areas to ensure a safe, high performance field.
