North Dakota ag research organization seeks public input

The North Dakota State Board of Agricultural Research and Education (SBARE) is seeking public input on agricultural research and North Dakota State University Extension needs in the state.

The organization provides the legislature and governor with recommendations on how NDSU Extension and the North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station can address critical needs and maximize return on the state’s investments.

All North Dakotans are invited to provide thoughts on needs and solutions. One way to provide input is to present 10-15 minutes of testimony. A time slot can be requested and testimony provided online.

Dates to provide in-person input are:

• 13: North Central Research Extension Center; 5400 Highway 83 S, Minot (limited virtual testimony slots available)
• 10-11: NDSU Peltier Complex; 1300 18th Street, Fargo

Written testimony can be sent to: NDSU Dept. 7520, P.O. Box 6050, Fargo, North Dakota 58108-6050.

Participants are urged to describe their agricultural research or NDSU Extension needs, potential solutions and an explanation of how this solution can bring added value for North Dakota.

NDSU Extension extends research-based education to North Dakota residents in all counties, at NDSU Research Extension Centers and on its main campus in Fargo.

The North Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station is a statewide network of NDSU professionals that conduct research to improve lives through scientific advances in crop systems, livestock and rangeland management.
