The Oakes Irrigation Research Site was established in 1970 on approximately 20-acre tract of land 4.5 miles south of Oakes, ND adjacent to ND State Hwy 1. In 2016 the site increased in size to about 40 acres due to the foresight and generosity of Robert Titus. The major goals of the Oakes Irrigation Research Site are encompassed in the following objectives:

Provide irrigators with information that results in efficient crop production.
Develop and refine Best Management Practices that are producer acceptable.
Provide irrigation development in North Dakota.
Determine alternate and specialty crops to be grown under irrigation in North Dakota and develop agronomic practices for their successful adaption.

A cooperative agreement between North Dakota State University and the Garrison Diversion Conservancy District makes this research effort possible. The University provides technical staff: Kelly Cooper as Research Agronomist; Leonard Besemann as research specialist; Heidi Eslinger as research technician. The Garrison Diversion Conservancy District provides most of the financial support. North Dakota State University faculty and staff from the departments of Soil Science, Plant Sciences, Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, Plant Pathology and Agricultural Experiment Station participate in conducting experiments at the site.
