NDSU's Dickinson Research Extension Center is hosting a workshop focused on beef cattle reproduction strategies and cow herd management.

Producers and the public should be on the lookout for cyanobacteria blooms.

Ranchers who have tame grass pastures or hay land should expect at least a 50% reduction in forage production.

Cyanobacteria often occur in stagnant ponds or dugouts, forming large colonies that appear as scum on or just below the water surface.

Monitoring water quality throughout the grazing season is important.

Transported hay and feed are one of the primary methods of dispersal for noxious weeds.

Test water quality prior to livestock turnout.

Sending cattle to graze in another state could lead to importation issues when producers bring their livestock back to North Dakota.

Thirty-one North Dakota counties are eligible for LFP payments.

Producers will have an opportunity to learn more about Farm Service Agency programs.
