Fort Pierce, Florida (Wednesday, May 17, 2006): Competing against the marketing campaigns of industry powerhouse corporations such as Syngenta, Bayer and John Deere, and out of more than 400 entries from across the United States, Environmental Turf was honored recently with six national awards during the 17th Annual Turf & Ornamental Communicators Association (TOCA) conference held in Napa, California.
Four of Environmental Turf’s six awards were for "First Place" in their category.

In addition, Environmental Turf won two Merit awards in the competition for "Writing for Electronic Newsletter" and for "Electronic Publishing: Overall Newsletter/Magazine Design" for Environmental Turf’s October 2005 edition of E-Turf Update.
