The NAMA Northern Prairie chapter held its first event of the year at the Big Iron Farm Show in West Fargo, North Dakota, on September 9. About 40 people from North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota braved cold temperatures and heavy rain as NAMA Northern Prairie used the reception to push forward with its initiative to relaunch the association in an area that is home to a robust and diverse ag economy. The response was outstanding and reflected a strong interest in renewing NAMA as a source for information, education, and professional growth.

The event was co-hosted with Minnesota Agri-Growth Council, an advocacy group supporting Minnesota’s food and agriculture sectors. Event sponsors included Red River Farm Network, American Ag Radio Network, Paulsen, and Promersberger.
