The Red River Valley Research Corridor and North Dakota Farmers Union are again co-hosting the third annual Precision Agriculture Action Summit, scheduled for Jan. 20-21, 2014, at the North Dakota Farmers Union Conference Center in Jamestown, N.D. The event is an opportunity to learn about trends and practices shaping the industry. And new this year, the conference features two education tracks focusing on crop and livestock management technologies. The tracks will run concurrently on the first day of the conference.
