Central Dakota Ag Day Brings Federal Ag Policy Insights to Carrington.

This year’s Central Dakota Ag Day promises an outstanding lineup of speakers, including a keynote presenter who will address federal agricultural policies and their impact on local producers.

The event, organized annually by North Dakota State University Extension, will be held on Monday, Dec. 16, at NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Center.

Tom Brusegaard, field representative for Sen. John Hoeven, will present “D.C. Agriculture Update,” offering the latest developments on the farm bill and other legislative priorities affecting agriculture.

"We’re excited to have Tom Brusegaard, who will share valuable insights into federal agricultural policy decisions," says Jeff Gale, NDSU Extension agent in Foster County. "This is a terrific opportunity for producers to learn about what they can expect from future legislation.”

In addition to the keynote addresses, the daylong program also includes 18 concurrent sessions covering three main areas: agronomy, livestock and agricultural life.

NDSU Extension crops economist Frayne Olson will conclude the day’s program with a one-hour general session titled “Now What? 2025 Crop Market Outlook.”

No registration is required. Lunch will be provided.

Certified crop advisors can receive continuing education units for many of the seminars.

Central Dakota Ag Day begins with coffee and doughnuts at 9:30 a.m. Introductions will begin at 9:50 followed by the first sessions at 10.

The Central Dakota Ag Day program is organized by NDSU Extension agents in Barnes, Eddy, Foster, Griggs, Sheridan, Stutsman and Wells counties, as well as staff from NDSU’s Carrington Research Extension Center.
