SDSU experts to share crop, management practice research at Northeast Research Farm Field Day

All things agronomy will be the focus of the Northeast Research Farm Field Day next month. Everyone is invited to hear about the latest research from South Dakota State University on Thursday, July 10, from 4 p.m. to dusk at 15710 455th Ave., South Shore.

With a cooler climate than other research stations, the Northeast Research Farm has a broad focus on small grains, although a wide variety of crops and agronomic practices are being tested on its 105 acres. Many multiyear projects take place at the farm, allowing researchers the opportunity to observe how crops respond to various management techniques over time. Those researchers will be the ones presenting at the field day. 

“A lot of times farmers get a chance to listen to experts at different meetings, but this time they get to have real interactions with the researchers,” David Karki, manager of the Northeast Research Farm, said. “We are thrilled to have our field day provide this platform. I hope (farmers) leave with great interactions with SDSU researchers who are doing the work and conducting the research.”
