Don’t wait for flooding to move livestock and hay.

NDSU Extension Service will have educational programming and field demonstrations during the Big Iron Farm Show on Sept. 15-17.

Halogeton has the biological ability to develop into a very troublesome noxious, poisonous plant in our western rangelands.
