2019 Harvest Bowl Winners
The success, dedication and hard work of outstanding agriculturists in 53 counties in North Dakota and eight counties in Minnesota were honored during the 46th annual Harvest Bowl program at North Dakota State University, on Nov. 8.
In Sheridan County, Alvin Burkart and Charlene Martwick farm near Kief. Alvin raises wheat, corn and barley using no-till farming practices. He also has a commercial cow-calf operation and has implemented a 12-cell grazing system to better manage his grass resources. He has added wildlife food plots and cover crops, and uses Natural Resources Conservation Service programs to test his crop and grazing acres. Charlene has a 50-head commercial sheep flock. They have been farming for 55 years.
