All are welcome Wednesday February 4 at 1:30 p.m. MST at the Our Place Cafe in Elgin to hear Dr Ethan Andress, state veterinarian along with Kevin Kading with ND Game and Fish Dept. Dr Ethan Andress will present on regulating animal agriculture in an everchanging world, providing insight protecting your herd and controlling disease.

Kevin Kading will discuss a new opportunity, Governor’s LEGACY Soil Health and Habitat program. LEGACY is a new program administered between NDGF and the ND Assn. of Soil Conservation Districts. LEGACY provides options for producers to enroll marginal croplands or other fields into a 5-year agreement to seed grass. Producers will receive a rental rate based on the average county rate, cost share for the seed and establishment, and a crop insurance premium reduction for acres seeded to grass. Public access is not required and there are additional incentives for producers interested in providing access. Troy Ness and Yvonne Seidler with Farm Credit Services of Mandan will also provide insurance updates and free homemade pie will be served. Please call the Carson Branch to RSVP at 701-622-3297 by January 30th.
