NFL Player Josh Allen speaks out about the greater wear and tear on players bodies due to playing on artificial turf. Stadiums around the country proved they could convert to natural grass this summer changing artificial to natural turfgrass for the World Cups games. Games played on natural turfgrass have proven to cause less injuries around players and therefore should be #worththecost

Here at TPI we’re incredibly grateful for Congressman Brian Jack inviting USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins and her team to hear about topics facing sod producers today. Hosted at TPI Member Farm NG Turf on July 27th, TPIs’ Dr. Casey Reynolds was able to speak with the highest-ranking official in U.S. Agriculture about our recent legislative successes and challenges, from transportation and labor regulations, to the importance of natural grass lawns and athletic fields as a place for kids and adults to stay active and healthy. This opportunity wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Congressman Brian Jack and his team, and we look forward to continuing to work with them to support and advocate on behalf of the turfgrass industry. Thank you Congressman Brian Jack! @RepBrianJack
