We would like to take this opportunity to thank the County Agents, the County Ag Improvement Associations and especially the farm operators who permit the location of off-station plots on their land at no cost. All are to be commended for their cooperative efforts in helping determine crop and variety performance in the MonDak region. Cooperators are listed in each of the cooperative off-station results.

Results from tillage, chemical fallow, and field scale no-till trials, as well as other management trials on other dryland and irrigated crops can be obtained by visiting with Center personnel.

All experiments are statistically designed so that the "real" yield differences can be separated from yield differences that occur by chance. LDS (Least Significant Difference) values are used for this purpose. When comparing the yield of one variety with the yield of another variety, the yield difference must exceed the LSD value (higher or lower) to be considered a "real" difference. It is advisable to use multi-year averages when choosing a variety or cropping sequence.
