Product Details

Fossey, a premier horticultural researcher and an expert in turfgrass science, has founded Turf Technologies, a firm that performs commercial turfgrass research. On the first contract that Fossey secured, he was paid a consulting fee of $75,000 for a six-month period. Now Fossey has been asked by Bryant of the Re-Markable Paint Co. to assist in developing an alternative formulation for removable paint that is environmentally appropriate and suitable for artificial turf and grass and expects to secure an $85,000 consulting fee for the six-month contract with Re-Markable Paint.
