Diversity, Direction and Dollars Ag Forum Set for Jan. 14

By Victor Gomes

Farmers in the western Dakotas and eastern Montana will have the opportunity to hear nationally known speakers address topics affecting agriculture in the region during North Dakota State University Extension’s Diversity, Direction and Dollars agricultural forum.

The event will be held Jan. 14 at Dickinson State University’s Biesiot Activities Center in Dickinson, North Dakota.

The forum will provide ideas for improving productivity and decreasing costs while providing sustainably produced, high-quality food.

“Farmers can expect to come away with valuable ideas that they can apply to their farms during the next cropping season, as well as strategies to position their farm to take advantage of the changes occurring,” says Victor Gomes, NDSU Extension cropping systems specialist.
