Training Videos

At Ramy Turf Products we want to help you succeed. Proper turfgrass selection, establishment, and maintenance are all pieces of the puzzle and cutting corners in any aspect will likely result in unsatisfactory results. We are here to help guide you. Below you will find a series of videos in which Sam Bauer, Professional Turf Specialist with Ramy, provides insight into turfgrass establishment and maintenance. Many of these videos were created when Sam was an Extension Educator at the University of Minnesota. We would like to thank the University of Minnesota’s Turfgrass Science program and the Minnesota Turf and Grounds Foundation for sponsoring this content. All credit goes to the U of M and MTGF.
