Our office can help you if you need assistance with testing! Give us a call

The hot and dry conditions have caused water quality concerns in parts of the state. We're receiving reports of elevated sulfate levels and blue-green algae in livestock water sources. Now is a good time to test ponds, dugouts, etc. Screening your water provides you with valuable information that help you make informed management decisions before problems happen.

For more information on screening your water sources https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/ag-hub/ag-topics/livestock/water/livestock-water-testing-guidelines
