North Dakota Discovery Farms are a research project that monitors water quality adjacent to animal feeding operations. It allows producers to make management decisions for their operation based on collected data. After improvements are made data can again be collected. Two sites are currently running near Dazey and Underwood, North Dakota. Another site is in the process of being installed near Embden, North Dakota. Discovery Farms are partnered with North Dakota State University, North Dakota Department of Health, and United States Geological Survey.
