The 2016 University of Tennessee field day kicks off September 8th in new location, Nashville, TN. We caught up with Dr. Jim Brosnan, Associate Professor Turf and Ornamental Weed Science at University of Tennessee as their annual field day kicks off in 10 days. UT Field Day is on a short list of one of the most attended field days put on by Universities.

Jim talks about the move from Knoxville to Nashville this year giving the opportunity for even more turf managers to attend given it's more central location in Tennessee. Two locations this year will also give attendees to see more real world application of research and trials. Sports turf attendees will be treated to guest speaker Luke Yoder, former grounds keeper of both Pittsburgh Pirates and San Diego Padres.
