I am interested in starting a new sod farm in Louisiana. Have no prior experience. Need to know all information with regards to start up costs; machinery needed; how much land needed; anything about sod farming would be helpful in making a decision

Thank You

I don’t know the details but whenever you get it going I’ll buy some St. Augustine grass for resell in Texas. Thanks. AL.

I would like to start a Sod Farm or lease my land to an operator. I would possibly be interested in some type of joint venture also, but I am also attempting to get an idea of the start up costs as far as the equipment goes. What type of ground preparation needs to be done? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
