Cal Hoff, Richardton, ND

Welcome to Bismarck, North Dakota. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the 26^th annual workshop of the Manitoba-North Dakota Zero Tillage Farmers Association.

As farmers and ranchers, we are constantly challenged to be productive businessmen and women. Looking forward to the next season we have a responsibility to be the best at our jobs. We at ManDak, do our best each year to assist you, through our newsletters, summer tour, and especially with this annual workshop.

We have put together a diverse program with topics ranging from farm families and the basics of zero till to the most advanced technologies. We have fit a lot of information into today and tomorrow. Take advantage of the speakers, researchers, and exhibiters. They have all come with the best knowledge and products available. Also talk to the people sitting next to you. If they took the time to come here they have something to offer.

Thank you for attending

Ora et Labora
