We held our first Farm Safety Camp of the season last week out in Devils Lake. This hands-on experience aims to help participants gain confidence and learn skills that will last a lifetime. From tractor driving and machinery operation to livestock handling and emergency response, we're preparing the next generation of ag workers to stay safe on the farm.

Our next camp begins today out in Dickinson. Stay tuned for photos 📸

Thank you to all who helped make this camp possible! We could not do it without you.
