Little Video Shoot

by murffturf Comment Closed
This year we purchased a couple of FireFly ProSlab 155 harvesters that automagically (I know that's not a word but I just like it!) stack the grass on pallets. We really like them so far and are doing an excellent job for us. A couple of weeks ago FireFly and one of their partners, National Instruments, wanted to come out and video the harvesters working and take some photos. I believe National Instruments makes the electronics for the harvester and they are working together to make a short marketing video about their products. They gave us some of the video footage for us to see and play with and so we took some photos and put them together with their video to make a little video ourselves. Love the drone footage they gave us to use!! Amazing how things look from above! They used this DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone while they were here at our farm. Pretty sweet system. So here's...

There's a tool from Sod Solutions that they've made available to the public for measuring your lawn that we wanted to link to and let you know about. Great little tool!

A New Perspective on Turf @ TPI Summer Conference 2013

by murffturf Comment Closed
This is a link to a really cool video filmed at Payne Sod Farm in Manteno, Illinois, by our friends at Sod Solutions and Xaircraft America. I was there (this is Scott Murff by the way) and got to see this being filmed and also took my own video.  So in case you can't figure out how the first video was filmed, check out the one below to see how it was done.  Very fun technology and I think Murff Turf may need one of these in the near future! You can find out more about Xaircraft MultiRotor here....

Anyone Watching the Upcoming Basketball Tournament?

by murffturf Comment Closed
We don't know how many people that come to our site are basketball fans and I hope if you aren't you don't mind us talking about it for just a brief minute here.  Here are a few interesting apps we wanted to point out to help you cover the games. The first is the official NCAA March Madness Live app which will allow you to watch games live. The second app, Simple Bracket, is a new way of entering and keeping up to date with your bracket by the fine folks at Studio Neat, makers of the Glif. And the third is the ESPN Bracket Bound App that also lets you keep up with your bracket and scores. Hope this wasn't too intrusive on your time.  Good luck with your brackets this year!...
