NDSU Langdon Research Extension Center

The Langdon Research Extension Center, a mile east of Langdon, was established in 1907 during the 10th Legislative Assembly of North Dakota. The 710-acre Center conducts research designed to maintain and improve northeastern North Dakota's vital agricultural economy. The nine counties served by the Langdon Center have some of North Dakota's highest precipitation rates and richest soils. The region also has some of the state's coolest temperatures and a short growing season. This environment encourages high levels of crop production and disease problems.

In 2004, the Vic Sturlaugson Learning center was constructed on the grounds of the LREC. The facility provides new office space for scientists and administration, a computer cluster classroom and a large meeting room. The LREC is now positioned to meet producers and rural communities’ needs into the 21^st century.

Vision

To move the North Dakota State University (NDSU) Langdon Research Extension Center (LREC) into the 21^st century both scientifically and operationally while recognizing the link between agricultural based research and rural community and economic development issues.  

Mission Statement

The mission of the NDSU LREC is to enhance the quality of life for all North Dakota citizens with a responsive, flexible and accessible agricultural based research program that combines the concepts of agricultural research, information technology and economic and community development.
