Most landscape lawns, sports turfs, and golf course surfaces should have reached full green-up but there will be some exceptions. The major exception to this is zoysiagrass turf.
Zoysiagrass will not begin green-up until mid- to late-May. Although not as slow to green-up as zoysiagrass, fine fescue will be slower than perennial ryegrass and tall fescue. Many of the Kentucky bluegrass varieties that are commonly used for sod production will be slow to green-up in the spring.

Worker health and hygiene training for farm workers, including family members, is an important step in reducing the risk for human pathogen spread on farms. Training of workers does not need to be complicated, but does need to be specific to your operation and your farm food safety plan (everyone should have one).
