K-State's Rocky Ford Turfgrass Research Center is shaping the future of living green spaces.

Located just 3 miles from the Manhattan campus, this 12-acre "living lab" features 50+ automated irrigation zones and specialized rainout structures to test both cool- and warm-season grasses under real-world Kansas conditions.

Research at the center focuses on:
Developing input-efficient and drought-resilient turfgrass.
Advancing cool-season & warm-season sod production.
Delivering sustainable, practical solutions for golf courses, sports fields, and home lawns.

Best of all, it provides incredible hands-on student learning experiences for the next generation of turfgrass professionals!

Here is an aerial tour this month:
