This event is always held on the last Thursday in June. The Dakota Lakes Research Farm has been operating for 26 years with the mission to identify, research and demonstrate methods of strengthening and stabilizing the agriculture economy. The research enterprise at the farm is operated by the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station. The notfor-profit Dakota Lakes Research Farm Corporation manages the production enterprise and owns the land, the fixed facilities, and much of the field equipment. Much of the station’s work has focused on development of diverse environmentally friendly farming systems The June 30 field day will feature numerous speakers from the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station, SDSU Extension and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Attendees will travel on wagons around the farm and view the ongoing research which includes long term crop rotations under irrigation and dryland management. Presenters will also discuss winter wheat variety trials, wheat diseases and management, pulse crops, oilseed crops, corn, and soybeans. The tour will share progress regarding three new projects being funded by The Howard Buffet Foundation. The new projects include research on coated seed technology to hopefully increase the consistency of cover-crop establishment, development of native vegetation habitat in public land and roadsides, and research and demonstration efforts associated with integrating livestock into farming operations. One project is building a self-propelled grazing cell. Wagons will take attendees around the farm beginning shortly after 3 p.m. Wagons will load at the farm headquarters and leave there at 45-60 minute intervals.
