South Dakota State University Extension experts will be at the 2023 Dakotafest to provide information on a range of agricultural and economic issues, from the use of prescribed fire to livestock to weed and soil management.
Dakotafest is Aug. 15-17 on the outskirts of Mitchell, South Dakota. The annual agricultural trade show brings together farmers, ranchers and agricultural industry professionals. It lasts from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CDT each day.
This year’s SDSU Extension booth will not have scheduled presentations as in prior years but will provide more direct chances for attendees to meet directly with SDSU Extension experts in various subject areas.
Heather Gessner, SDSU Extension Livestock Business Management Field Specialist, said people typically do not want to stop for a 30-minute presentation during Dakotafest, and the change in format allows for more interaction among attendees and SDSU Extension experts.
Stop by booth 216 to visit with SDSU Extension experts, including Sean Kelly, SDSU Extension Range Management Field Specialist, and Pete Bauman, SDSU Extension Natural Resources and Wildlife Field Specialist, about using prescribed burning to control the spread of cedar trees.
