Not counting roadsides, the majority of turfgrass acreage in the U.S. is in non-rural areas.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Sure
• D. Both

Answer: (A)

Not counting roadsides, most turfgrass acreage in the U.S. is found in urban and suburban landscapes, parks, golf courses, and other non-rural settings. Rural areas do have turf, but much of their land is used for pasture, crops, or natural vegetation rather than the managed turf seen on lawns and recreational facilities. When roadsides are excluded from the count, the expansive, highly maintained turf in homes, businesses, schools, and municipal spaces still constitutes the larger share of turfgrass acreage. So the statement is true.
