   Hello everyone, hope this finds all well.  Does anyone have any experience with either the Barvette or Barusa Kentucky Blue?  My owner wants me to look at these and he says performance has been good in the St. Louis area.  I am in central Arkansas.  Any info will be much appreciated.  Thank you for any and all responses.

   Mark, talk to the guys at Site One in Maumelle. The guys in the shop might not have any info but Corporate has a couple of good seed people with good knowledge who they can reach out too.

   Thank you Mr. Baker.  Jason, how is it going?  This weather is brutal and I hope you have seen a little break from it a couple of times.  I will reach out to Site One and see what they have to say.  Hope you are holding up well and your crew too.  Let me know if I can help you in any way, don't know about the Zoysia seed but maybe you will get some replies.

   Mark, 
   Thanks, hope you too are well, I been around the block a few times since I left Maumelle, Currently in AZ, 15 minutes sw of Sedona. trying to grow cool season turf. A lot different than wall to wall Bermuda along the AR River. 
   
   Worked with Site One for a year or two in Salt Lake CIty. Lots of good knowledgeable people in that company, the guys at branch level just need to reach out to them for the right info. 
   
   I have yet to reach out to Site One myself concerning Zoysia seed. Pretty sure they only sell small residential bags of Zenith, and don't deal with the growers like they do with other seeds. good luck.

   USGA has some articles on "Bluemuda" which is using HGT Kentucky bluegrass with bermudagrass.  I'm testing it out on some tees.
