The Montana State University College of Agriculture and the Montana Agricultural Experiment Station released the schedule of the field days at Corvallis, Conrad, Creston, Havre, Huntley, Moccasin and Sidney.

The Corvallis center will be the concluding tour on the schedule, July 29 at 4:30 p.m. You can see a recent video from the center here.
