Montana State University’s 2025 agricultural field day series will kick off on Wednesday, June 18, and continue throughout the summer. Hosted by the College of Agriculture and Montana Agricultural Experiment Station, the series will include events at all seven of the university’s research centers, plus two at campus farms in Bozeman.
“The entire state of Montana is our laboratory and our campus, and these field days provide some of our most important opportunities to meet with community members, producers and partners,” said Sreekala Bajwa, MSU vice president for agriculture and dean of the college. “With our state’s wide range of geographies and ecosystems, hearing what questions are most important to producers where they are helps make sure our research is meeting their most pressing needs.”
The Montana Agricultural Experiment Station comprises the main station at Bozeman; Department of Research Centers facilities in Conrad, Corvallis, Creston, Havre, Huntley, Moccasin and Sidney; and the USDA’s Fort Keogh Livestock and Range Research Laboratory in Miles City.
At the field days, attendees can meet faculty, learn about ongoing and future research, offer feedback, share a meal and tour facilities. Topics for 2025 will include plant variety testing, new crops, livestock management, precision agriculture and more.
