He expects the next two years to bring high production and low prices, with profits possibly very low to negative.

Ideal Fall Time to Seed Lawns Says ISU Expert Everson
L. E. Everson of Iowa State University advises fall as the best season for seeding cool season lawn grasses. He warns buyers to choose high quality seed, check germination dates within nine months, prefer sealed cans for viability, and avoid bluegrass screenings with low purity. Choose fine textured bluegrass or mixtures for quality, and mix ryegrass only if fine textured varieties are used to avoid clumps.
