There will be something for everyone at the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Southeast Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Farm Grain and Horticulture Crops Field Day on Tuesday, July 7, beginning at 1:30 p.m.

Northeast South Dakota has a cooler climate than other parts of the state, so farming may look a little different than other regions. Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ conducted at the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Northeast Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ Farm near South Shore is directly applicable to local farmers’ fields and operations, making its upcoming field day a must-attend for local producers.
