The H&CE 241 - Leadership and Presentation Techniques class spent some time outside last week working on the pipe exercise. Seemingly easy, the objective is for all eight participants to raise the pipe at the same time using just their first and middle fingers (no thumbs to hold it in). It takes teamwork to do it! This is a lesson in leadership!
We love seeing our students have an entrepreneurial spirit! Congratulations to Lane Berg on his West River Hat Co. business! Lane is earning his B.S. in Agricultural Studies with a Business/Marketing option and will graduate in May 2019.

What once started out as a dream is slowly turning into reality for Lane Berg, an aspiring bull rider, entrepreneur, and student at Dickinson State University. Berg grew up on a farm 40 miles west of Fargo, North Dakota where he and his family raised beef and longhorn cattle. "I grew up raising catt...
The Medora Musical is a gem in Western North Dakota. It's so fun to be able to say that the DSU Dept. of Agriculture and Technical Studies had ties to three students in the show last night! On Thursday, August 30, 2018, during the Ghost Ride of the Medora Musical, Amanda Gleich, a current B.S. in Agricultural Studies Student with an option in Integrated Ranch Management, portrayed Harold Schafer; Mandy Marboe, a May 2017 graduate with a B.S. in Agricultural Studies with options in Range Management and Natural Resource Management portrayed the Marquis de Mores; and Emily Marboe, who was a student in our department, portrayed Sitting Bull. It's hard to spot them (and definitely hard to point them out!), but these three women are at the top of the hill behind and to the right of the Medora sign. Mandy is the manager of the Medora Riding Stables. Three cheers to these girls for being a part of a very memorable scene of the Medora Musical!
What a way to start the day! The Ag Building was outfitted with a new fire alarm system this summer. This morning, the system decided to test itself (no fire!) and the RNG 336 - Introduction to Range Management class started class outside! Thanks to the Dickinson Fire Department for coming to secure the building and turn off the alarm. Guess we know it works! :)

Introducing the 2018-2019 DSU Rodeo Team! Go Blue Hawks!
It's an auspicious moment and I wanted to share it with you! Pictured here is Clay Jorgenson and Head Rodeo Coach Eudell Larsen enjoying NO RAIN in their faces! With the new indoor arena roof, although it's raining outside, it's no longer raining inside! We are super happy that Twin City Roofing put on the new roof this summer. It's so much safer for our rodeo athletes in the arena this year. HIP! HIP! HOORAY!
It was a good day to take advantage of the shade and cool grass in front of the Ag Building!

The 2018 Ag Department Family Welcome Picnic was a success! There were 115 people who joined us for an evening of getting to know each other and eating good food!

Happy Monday! Classes start at 3 p.m. For those of you in PLSC 110 - World Food Crops, the 3 p.m. Monday lab section DOES meet. :)

The Arena Roof is done! Three cheers for Twin City Roofing for doing a great job on the new roof. No more leaks! We're still working on a new fire system in the arena, so it's still closed for open public riding and other events, but we're getting closer to reopening with every day!
Mark your calendars! There's only 22 days until our annual Ag Department WELCOME picnic! It's a way for us to welcome you (or welcome you back!) into the Ag Department Family! Hope to see you there!

It may not look exciting, but it is to us! This blue tarp is covering up the materials for the new arena roof! As a reminder, there will be no open public riding or scheduled events in the DSU Indoor Multipurpose Arena until further notice. We need to get this new roof on first! :)

Justin Ward, who graduated on Saturday with a B.S. in Agricultural Studies with a Business/Marketing Option, skipped graduation to attend the Tri-Cities Invitational, a Bullfighters Only event, in Kennewick, Washington.

We will be cheering you on as you continue on this new journey!

NORTH DAKOTA'S BULLDOGGING BOY WONDER
Lookout North Dakota, your bulldogging boy wonder, who is all man, and a former collegiate national champion for Dickinson State University, is climbing up the national professional rodeo rankings and is headed for the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.
Oh sure, it's early in the year, but Cameron Morman, from Glen Ullin, is showing a consistency that is key to being a world champion. And it doesn't hurt that he might be the nicest, most well-rounded guy in the world.
CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CURRENT RANKINGS. The top 15 go to the National Finals Rodeo in December:

One of the hallmarks of the DSU Dept. of Agriculture and Technical Studies' programs is field trips! Mr. Toby Stroh and Dr. Josh Steffan headed to Fort Keogh Miles City ARS with the ANSC 220 - Livestock Production and RNG 458 - Rangeland Ecology classes. The DSU students were joined by students from Williston State College (taught by DSU graduate Jessalyn Bachler), Dawson Community College, and Miles Community College. The students learned about the history of Fort Keogh, ruminant nutrition and anatomy (rumen candula), water quality, rangeland ecology and fire, and least cost beef animal feeding. Thanks to Dr. Steffan for all the pictures!
