Abstract: Notable economies of size were found both in establishment and continued operation of a turfgrass-sod facility in Alabama. Over a seven-year time horizon, bermudagrass was the most profitable grass to produce on every farm size. Both zoysia and centipede also had positive economic returns over the time horizon.
