Again very nice Jared...grass is starting to yellow or burn...is there a lack of rain by any chance?

We have had plenty of rain or more than our share here...the grass here and on most strips is still soft and a lovely green...much like a golf course.

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

You are right Doug we did have a lack of rain leading up to the fly-in, that coupled with cutting it so short as to make the field presentable for the weekend of fun turned it yellowish pre-maturely.....

Though...after this past week I dare say that it'll be green in short order a we got a TON of rain the past few days

Hi Jared:

Well it does not look all that bad but they have to watch cutting the grass too short or it will eventually dry and cause bald spots which eventually will lead to mud holes. Dry or dead grass also leads to dust and FOD.

Like you say a good rain will fix that soon enough.

It takes time, patience and experience to keep a good grass strip ship shape but the efforts are well worth it. Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
