Why Michigan Sod?


70 Years Growing..

Michigan is one of the first states to start utilizing sod extensively, in fact, for over 70 years Michigan growers have been producing sod superior to others. We are from a rich diverse agricultural area that has many products to offer. Michigan sod is noted throughout our nation as having an outstanding sod product, we have obtained this statue by continually being educated and striving for the best product available to the industry.

 


Americans are paying for Canadian trucks to utilize our roads and highways.

Even though foreign countries are using our roads to transport their product, this generates a drain on our local economy and eventually causes the local taxes to be raised to support the local infrastructure.

 


Free Trade???

We are supposed to have free trade with Canada, however, many truckloads of sod come through this country, and we have yet to see Michigan sod transported to Canada.

 


Photosanitary Concern...

When utilized properly, this is a good thing, however, it is being improperly used to keep our sod out of Canada. Each attempt to transport sod into Canada has been diverted for one reason or another. Double standard?

 


Michigan has some of the best grown turf in the world and has the prier turf program at Michigan State University, so when it comes time to purchase your next load of sod, I would hope you would ask...

Is it Michigan Grown?
