               2 - MonDak Ag Research Summit - 2021 Webinar Series  /ARSUserFiles/30320500/MonDak Ag Summit/laptop image for webpage 2 670 and 300dpi.jpg ***Please Note:** Our live sessions have concluded, however, r**ecordings of all our webinars are now available below.*   Due to Covid-19, this year's **4th annual MonDak Ag Research Summit** was converted from an in-person event to a **live webinar series**. The series consisted of six Zoom webinars held every other week beginning in January. Each webinar featured a keynote speaker followed by three shorter presentations from local scientists with the event's originating institutions including: Montana State University’s Eastern Agricultural Research Center and the USDA Agricultural Research Service’s Northern Plains Agricultural Research Lab, both in Sidney; and North Dakota State University’s Williston Research Extension Center in Williston. While the webinars have concluded, recordings of all six are available here.
