What is a sod farm?

Also called a turf farm, a sod farm is an agricultural investment that involves the growing of turf. Turf is used in sports stadiums, lawns and golf courses.

Sod farming requires a lot of capital investment. Owners of these farms need to buy land and equipment. They also need to take into account variables such as weather, since they affect the farm’s produce and the farming business. Sod farms are typically located within an easy drive to the market location to ensure that the product survives in the new location. Turf is important in improving water and air quality. It also drains water to prevent flooding.
