The 4th annual MonDak Ag Research Summit has moved online due to Covid-19. Join us for a series of Zoom webinars focusing on ag issues and research applicable to area farmers and ranchers in Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota. Each webinar features a keynote speaker addressing timely topics and research presentations by local scientists. Click here for more information.
While COVID-19 may have put the kibosh on our Field Day activities this year, we have developed recordings of research updates, two weed ID webinars, and more to let you know what we’re working on. Click here for additional details and to access the recordings.
