Torrington, WY –Torrington Sod Farms has been awarded a Progress Program Capital Matching Grant from Go Goshen to support the purchase and installation of a new tarping system for its flatbed trailer. This equipment upgrade will enhance transportation efficiency and maintain turfgrass quality during deliveries throughout the region.

The new roll-up tarping system serves as a traveling billboard and essential cover, protecting natural turfgrass from wind and sun exposure during transport. The upgrade enables Torrington Sod Farms to better serve customers across Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Colorado, thereby extending the life and appearance of sod deliveries and supporting expanded distribution efforts.

With over 85% of business income coming from within the state, Torrington Sod Farms is Goshen County’s only sod farm and a long-standing provider of natural turfgrass installation for athletic fields, schools, and large-scale landscaping projects.

The Progress Program Grant is made possible through Goshen County’s ¼ cent sales tax for Economic Development. Administered by the Go Goshen Progress Program Grant Committee, the program provides grants for various business needs, including infrastructure improvements, equipment upgrades, product development, e-commerce acceleration, and workforce training. These grants are designed to support local businesses in expanding their operations, creating jobs, and contributing to the county’s economic vitality.
