Honoring the Legacy of Bob Bergland

Consultant Steve Olson facilitated the discussion for Thursday’s Bergland Lecture Series. Olson said the program points to the legacy of Bob Bergland. “He was a congressman and he was secretary of agriculture and he had an ability to connect to different parts of agriculture,” said Olson. “This conference is all about taking what we know about agriculture in the rest of the world and how does that impact northwestern Minnesota and the Red River Valley.” Farmers, agribusiness, academia and students participated in the University of Minnesota-Crookston event.
