Agriculture, Horticulture, and Natural Resources
MSU Extension agriculture, horticulture, and natural resources programs apply university research and resources to help Montana agricultural producers and landowners increase profits, reduce loss, protect our food supply and sustain future resources.
On-site Visits
The Agriculture Agent will travel to your field, yard, garden, shelterbelt, etc. to help diagnosis diseases, plan shelterbelts, scout fields, and assist in other matters.
Nitrate Testing
Nitrate strip tests are conducted at the office before the crop is harvested. Please bring in multiple samples across the field and bring in the whole plant. Testing takes one to two hours.
Hay Probe
Cascade County Extension has a hay probe producers can borrow to test hay for nitrates, crude protein, TDN, crude fat, etc.
