Dickinson Research Extension Center Updates
Welcome!
Welcome to Dickinson REC (Research Extension Center) Updates! I am Chris Augustin, director and soil scientist of the Dickinson REC. This is a new weekly update to inform you of not only what the Dickinson REC is up to, but is another outreach avenue to help improve your bottom line. This will be sent out every Tuesday.
The Dickinson REC specializes in sensible and sustainable research and outreach that has a positive impact on the people we serve. Each week a different team member will put together a short report on a project. Livestock feeding, cropping management, range management, and soil science are our areas of focus. Included with these updates will be an event calendar. I hope to see you at an upcoming workshop!

With this first column, I just wanted to give you some background information on myself. I am a farm kid from Pembina County and have been at the Dickinson REC since April of 2020. Before that, I was a soil health specialist at the North Central REC in Minot from 2012-2020 and a nutrient management specialist at the Carrington REC from 2008-2012.

The Dickinson REC team is full of great research and outreach ideas, but so do you. If you have any input or suggestions how we can better serve you, please reach out to me. My email is chris.augustin@ndsu.edu and the office phone number is 701-456-1100. Please feel free to share this with others.

Have a nice day,
Chris
