Dakota Lakes Research Farm
Building Description
The Dakota Lakes Research Farm focuses on both irrigated and dryland crop research. The farm is managed as a no-till farm. Nearly one-third, 240 of the 840 acres, is devoted to irrigation.
Irrigation allows scientists to compare and evaluate varieties and management practices. It also allows scientists to do breeding work in both high- and low-moisture environments at the same location in the same year. The farm's field day, held the last Thursday in June, has been listed as one of the “10 most exciting field days in the nation” by a major farm magazine.
