Pollinators play a vital role in North Dakota agriculture and our natural ecosystems. From bees to butterflies, birds, bats and other beneficial insects, these hardworking species help support the production of crops from the fields to home gardens.

Want to help support pollinators in your landscape? Consider planting native flowers that bloom throughout the growing season.

Sadness vs. depression - do you know the difference? The ag community is no stranger to hard work. We expect a lot from ourselves......but could we be wearing down our bootstraps?

If you are feeling overwhelmed, sad, frustrated......it's time to talk to someone. Your health is the most important asset on your farm/ranch.
