The NDSU Central Grasslands Research Extension Center's 2009 Grass-N-Beef Research Review is scheduled for Monday, Jan. 28, at 9:30 a.m. in the center’s conference room.

"This daylong program will provide producers with information on how to make their operation more efficient and profitable," says Paul Nyren, center director.

The event will begin with a welcome from Nyren and remarks from D.C. Coston, NDSU vice president for agriculture and university extension.

Several faculty and staff members from NDSU are scheduled to give presentations on topics including beef cattle, animal production efficiency, drought management, biofuels, ethanol, switchgrass and resilience on the Northern Plains.

The program also will include a panel discussion on range monitoring. Panelists are representatives from the North Dakota Grazing Lands Coalition and Chuck Lura, a biology professor at Minot State University-Bottineau.
