North Dakota State University President David Cook was part of the series of Research Extension Center field days over the past two weeks. At the Langdon stop, Cook said these tours are an opportunity to see improvements in farm productivity. One example was given. “Today, we grow soybeans in this part of the state where we couldn’t have done it five, ten, 15, 20 years ago,” said Cook. “That’s really the bottom line where a land grant institution like NDSU makes its mark across the state. We couldn’t do it without SBARE (State Board of Agricultural Research and Education) or the Legislature.”
