Two NDSU Extension teams have been honored for their work with a Program Excellence Award.
The teams were recognized during the joint NDSU Extension and Research Extension Center conference Oct. 12-14 in Bismarck, North Dakota.
Livestock Water Quality Program
NDSU Extension initiated the Livestock Water Quality Program in 2019 to enhance Extension agents’ knowledge of livestock water quality while establishing relationships with farmers and ranchers in their counties. The program also improves the quality of livestock water and reduces losses of livestock due to toxic water conditions through improving producers’ knowledge of livestock water quality. The team developed training opportunities, curriculum and a monitoring program for agents.
