"I'm going to do my internship at Philly cricket club. I chose it because they have a lot of autonomous mowers and I think that's really interesting. I want to know how to use them better. I think that's the next step in our industry." - @ChaseGroelle

Introducing the Rain Sensor feature in Hunter’s Pilot® Command Center Software! Using @POGOTurfPro sensor hardware, it automatically suspends watering based on user-defined rain thresholds. Learn more at hunterindustries.com/sites/default/…. #HunterIndustries #HunterGolf
@Hunter_Ind The real value of using precise measurements and analysis comes from making the right decisions from the information. Otherwise, it's just data. Happy to see Hunter furthering the control integration and excited to take this into the future!
Stop using the same old tactics, and let Mountain West Turf Technologies help you out smart your agronomic enemies with the newest gadgets and tools.

It's not to early to think about fans. #EYAS will save you money and time by showing you that the fan is aimed right, and it will also tell the fan when to turn on and off. Support yourself. Not the sod farm and the electric company.
JB has 3 posts below every #GS3 user should read & take to the field. Last thing we need is another arms race on very actionable metrics regarding performance & plant health, e.g. we have periodic firm readings better than but we have never reach goal.
@BillyBagwell @USGAGrnSection @chrisneffgolf Still a lot to learn about smoothness and trueness. Baselines are certainly species, season, and resource dependent. The more days of data, the more you will learn. I wouldn’t make maintenance changes until you collect data for at least a month.
Wendell Hutchens is one of those outstanding people!! Good job!!

Using my phone as a hot spot and working from the back of the car. Parents and I are heading to NE Arkansas for the Great North American Eclipse. Our family has had river cabins in a small town called Hardy since the 1920s.
@dave_hegan @GreenSightAg I only have the questions. I wonder about some of the claims in the post but there are obvious benefits. I'm not sure how it might work for us in the future. It will be a part of our future, just not sure on how yet?
@chuck_stccc @GreenSightAg I’d add it depends on the site and how you use them. If scheduled at the time, mowers knock dew off the surface every morning-reducing disease pressure. We have customers observing less weed pressure as the weeds cannot breach canopy and outcompete the turf with daily mowing.
