2007 Locations and Trials

During 2007 growing season 56 experiments and early-generation breeding material were planted at 6 locations in North Dakota, and at 2 locations in Minnesota. Total area in all these trials was around 36 acres (Approximately 9000 plots). Additionally, several other variety trials were planted at the ND Research and Extension Centers (REC) across the state. By petition of the bean growers from Dickey County, we added two variety trials at the Oakes REC. We hope to keep doing more trials at this location in the future.
