North Dakota State University’s Hettinger Research Extension Center will be splitting it’s summer field tour into two days one with an in-person field tour and the next being an online session.
The tour begins at 4 p.m. MT on July 7, registration is required because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and no meal will be served this year.
Small-grain varieties will be covered by HREC researchers Caleb Dalley and John Rickertsen as well current agronomy research projects and weed control research.
On July 8 researchers will host an online session with agronomic information from specialists across the state, including updates from the Hettinger and Dickinson Research Extension Centers at 9 a.m. Mountain time.
The field tour will allow producers to see our current research like soybean population, spring wheat seed treatment and effective herbicide options for regional crops, along with looking at some alternative crops like hemp and buckwheat, says John Rickertsen while the online session will be an opportunity for questions.
To register, call the center at 701-567-4323 by July 6 for the in-person field day.
