The North Dakota State University Research Extension Centers’ annual field days are set. The annual events at NDSU’s Research Extension Center sites across the state will feature speakers, tours and field demonstrations for farmers, ranchers, crop advisers, landowners, horticulturalists and local stakeholders.
“The agricultural research conducted at our NDSU Research Extension Centers provides research-based solutions that advance agricultural production systems in a variety of areas, including agronomy and crop production, livestock and rangeland management, precision agriculture and value-added activities,” says Greg Lardy, the Joe and Norma Peltier Vice President for NDSU Agriculture. “During the NDSU Field Days, our researchers showcase the work they’ve invested in developing timely, practical solutions for agriculture in North Dakota and across the region.”
