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.

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.
