Producers who would like to review information presented at North Dakota State University Research Extension Center Field Days can now do so on the Web. "The site features video shot from 2003 Field Days throughout the state," according to Randy Wald, NDSU Agriculture Communication electronic media information specialist. "A text version is also available."

The video and text is available at the NDSU Research Extension Center Web site at http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/research.htm  and clicking on 2003 Field Days or at http://www.ag.ndsu.nodak.edu/afsnr/rec-days/index.html. "Producers can find information on a wide variety of topics, from cattle to the latest crop varieties," Wald says. "This is another way to utilize the latest technology to bring research information to producers."
