SUMMARY:What is ahead for the remainder of winter and what can you expect moving into spring and summer?
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar presented by LebanonTurf\, Herb Stevens and Garrett Bastardi of Flash Agronomy discuss what is in store for the remainder of winter and what turf managers across the nation can expect moving into spring and summer.\n \n\n	For much of the country\, winter got off to a very mild start.
