Today’s turfgrass managers have seen unbelievable change in equipment, tools and technology during their careers. New innovations have allowed turfgrass managers to become more efficient with manpower and budgets. The best turfgrass managers have been trained to look for the latest innovations, however small or large, that will give them an edge in performing their jobs. We’ve all seen those new inventions that made huge, positive impacts in our daily jobs. Some seemed so simple that we wished we had thought of it first. Others we didn’t even see on the horizon, and the next one is no exception. In fact, you will have to look skyward to see it coming. Drones are here! It may seem far-fetched but in the near future drones may be standard equipment for turfgrass managers across our industry. I predict sod producers, sports field managers, golf course superintendents, lawn care companies, institutions, etc., will own and use drones in conducting daily business, maintenance and sales in the years to come.
