Two North Dakota State University (NDSU) Extension teams have been honored for their work with a Program Excellence Award. The teams received their awards during the joint NDSU Extension and Research Extension Center conference in Bismarck.

Livestock Water Quality Program

Started in 2019, NDSU Extension initiated the Livestock Water Quality Program to enhance Extension agents' knowledge of livestock water quality while establishing relationships with farmers and ranchers in their counties. The program also improves the quality of livestock water and reduces losses of livestock due to toxic water conditions through improving producers' knowledge of livestock water quality. The team developed training opportunities, curriculum and a monitoring program for agents.

4-H 101 Videos Promote 4-H Engagement

Team members: Caroline Homan, Susan Milender Cindy Klapperich, Alicia Harstad, Christina Rittenbach and Scott Swanson.
