FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Women in agriculture is the focus of a discussion at the Fargo campus of the North Dakota State College of Science.
U.S. Sens. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and U.S. Deputy Agriculture Secretary Krysta Harden will lead the discussion on Thursday at the College of Science Skills and Technology Auditorium.
